Product Description
Product Description
Toxic chemicals contaminate the land and groundwater on hundreds of sites in industrialized nations and in many economically developing contries. Past practices, as well as spills, leaks and illegal disposals, have all contributed to this widely publicized problem. This text presents international policy approaches to prevent toxic contamination, to perform environmental cleanup of contaminated sites, and to redevelop these sites for productive uses. Focusing on experiences with contaminated sites in the USA and several countres in Western and Eastern Europe, it demonstrates that policies to contend with contaminated lands have both intended and unintended consequences.
