Opis

Contaminated land is a problem, both in the short and long term, as it cannot be used without remediation. The investigation and analysis of the problem, along with the legal responsibilites surrounding the issues, continue to present difficulties to those wishing to use or develop a contaminated site. Since publication of the first edition the area has developed and therefore the second edition has been updated to take account of advances in the field.
