Description

Representing the synthesis of years of interdisciplinary research by the author, this comprehensive handbook is the first point of reference for information on the basic concepts, assessment, remediation, and control of contamination on and below the ground surface. It provides clear explanations of scientific concepts and defines important technical terms. Presented in an easy-to-read style, the book uses numerous figures and summary tables to illustrate key concepts and to present concise information concerning the advantages and disadvantages of various methods. It also contains five data-packed appendices describing hundreds of field and analytical tools and how to obtain them.
