Contaminated soil; Proceedings of the first TNO conference on contaminated soil, 11-15 November 1985, Utrecht, Netherlands
- eds.
The technical papers contained in this book have two distinct areas of contribution that recommend it to the potential reader. The first is in the scientific study of the behavior of pollutants in the entire terrestrial system. Emphasis is on specific organics with some studies of metals. The second area is the documentation as case studies of seriously contaminated sites, almost all landfills, and efforts at clean-up. The book is not clearly divided into the soil science information on the fate of pollutants and the information on site investigations and clean-up. Of particular note are the studies reported on soil-air exchange in pores, the effect of heterogeneity on pollutant movement, and plant behavior of heavy metals in sludge and contaminated soils. The second half of these proceedings described the management and remediation of polluted areas. Many practical experiences, such as fire hazards and success/failures are given. Interwoven in the papers on remediation are a number of good data on the behavior of chemicals in soils. Finally, there are a number of experiences with in situ clean-up, which delineate the potential for these techniques.
