This standard work on contaminated site management covers the whole chain of steps involved in dealing with contaminated sites, from site investigation to remediation. An important focus throughout the book is on Risk Assessment. In addition, the book includes chapters on characterisation of natural and urban soils, bioavailability, natural attenuation, policy and stakeholder viewpoints and Brownfields. Typically, the book includes in-depth theories on soil contamination, along with offering possibilities for practical applications. More than sixty of the world's top experts from Europe, the USA, Australia and Canada have contributed to this book. The twenty-five chapters in this book offer relevant information for experienced scientists, students, consultants and regulators, as well as for 'new players' in contaminated site management
Rezensionen / Stimmen
From the reviews:"This book takes on the formidable task of bringing the interdisciplinary and diverse aspects . of contaminated site investigation together in one place. . Each chapter of this book is written as a 'stand alone' subject discussion . . The stand alone chapter design does allow readers to pick and chose which chapters they wish to read and in what sequence. . I found the discussions on viewing soils as a valuable and potentially nonrenewable resource to be an important and critical topic." (Mark Sprenger, Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management, Vol. 8 (1), January, 2012)
