Books, Manuscripts
Toxic chemicals contaminate land and groundwater at hundreds of thousands of sites in industrialised nations and many economically developing countries. Past practices as well as spills, leaks and illegal disposal have all contributed to this widely publicised problem. This book presents international policy approaches to prevent toxic contamination, to perform environmental cleanup of contaminated sites and to redevelop these sites for productive uses.
