Remediation Technologies for Soils and Groundwater

Site remediation is a complex and costly process that aims to restore adversely affected land and groundwater resources to environmentally sustainable conditions. This book provides a comprehensive and thorough overview of conventional engineered processes and technologies used for the remediation of contaminated sites. The chapters focus on fundamental processes, physical technologies, chemical technologies, biological technologies, plant-based technologies, and long-term monitoring. This committee report's extensive illustrations, tables, and case studies along with it's simple to follow writing style, makes it appropriate for use as a classroom text as well as a reference for practitioners.
