About this title

Contaminated land and groundwater are major environmental issues in all industrial countries and will be of concern throughout the world in the next century. The currently dominant technology of dig and dump is clearly unsustainable but good technical and cost-effective alternatives are unavailable for many problems.

This volume draws together a wide range of articles on site investigation, protection and vulnerability, pollutant behaviour on field sites and in the laboratory, and on cleanup feasibility and techniques. They range from a Canadian research-based review of the feasibility of removing volatile organic compounds from groundwater to a history of contaminated land in Portsmouth, and from vulnerability issues due to the Channel Tunnel Rail Link to the economics of decisions on site remediation.

The range of papers will be of practical value to regulators and practitioners, engineers and geologists, and to students, with its mix of case studies, reviews and research.
