Contaminated Land

Contaminated land can be reclaimed safely if the proposed end-use of the land is appropriate and based on thorough site investigation. This book examines the subject, reviewing current methods and strategies for safe, economical reclamation.
Contaminated land is a problem both in the short and long term as it cannot be used without remediation. The investigation and analysis of the problem, along with the legal responsibilities surrounding the issues, continue to present difficulties to those wishing to use or develop a contaminated site. Since publication of the 1st edition, the area has developed rapidly. Building on the success of the first edition, the new edition has been fully updated to take account of advances in the field.
