Managing Contaminated Sites: Problem Diagnosis and Development of Site Restoration

This work addresses the issues relevant to the investigation and management of contaminated sites, emphasizing problem diagnosis/characterization and the development of site restoration/corrective action clean-up programmes.
Contaminated sites and facilities may pose significant risks to the public because of the potential health and environmental effects, to property owners and financiers due to possible financial losses and reduced property values, and to other potentially responsible parties because of the financial liabilities that could result from their effects. This book synthesizes technically sound principles and techniques that can be applied to contaminated sites in different regions of the world.
