Innovative Approaches to the On-Site Assessment and Remediation of Contaminated Sites

Presents seven multi-authored contributions addressing in situ and onsite management of contaminated sites. Topics addressed are the use of a field analytical approach to accelerate site assessments; mobility and availability of contaminants; biodegradation and bioremediation; advances in phytoremediation; natural attenuation; in situ treatment technologies; and approaches to the removal of PCB from the environment. Considerable emphasis is placed on techniques to manage contaminants in situ, with attention paid to the unique transport and exposure processes associated with contaminated sediments and nonaqueous phase liquid subsurface contamination, as well as the role these processes may play in the future management of such sites. Contributions are drawn from a NATO Advance Study Institute held in Prague, Czech Republic in May 2001. Lacks a subject index. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
