Remedial treatment for contaminated land (bookset)

This 12-volume set provides a wealth of inforation on the remedial treatment for contaminated land. Volume 1 is an introductory volume, which serves as a guide to the other 11. Volume 2 deals with the design and implementation of post-closure operations for industrial facilities. Volume 3 describes the various phases of investigating and assessing a site, and the issues to be addressed throughout. Volume 4 gives a step-by-step approach to the selection of appropriate techniques, including setting objectives, identifying constraints, evaluating site information and testing of various treatment options against the selection criteria. Volume 5 deals with the excavation of contaminated material prior to disposal (on or off site) or as a precursor to other forms of treatment. Volume 6 provides information and guidance on engineering-based remedial methods, specifically physical containment and hydraulic control measures. Volume 7 discusses the physical, chemical and biological methods of removing or rendering harmless the contaminants in solid materials after excavation from the ground. Volume 8 examines the design and operation of various treatment techniques for contaminated liquids, such as surface and groundwater effluent and leachates, which are produced during remediation of a contaminated site. Volume 9 describes the techniques available for removing, destroying or rendering harmless contaminants while they are in place in the ground. Volume 10 gives guidance on the specific technical and management requirements of contaminated sites that call for special attention. Volume 11 describes planning and management procedures for the various stages of remedial treatment for contaminated land and Volume 12 summarises the key elements and main developments in environmental legislation and policy.
