This introductory manual addresses environmental site restoration
practices that both ensure compliance with federal statutes and
prevent further contamination or expense. It also includes
up-to-date information and several new features to enhance the
process. Emphasizing environmental chemistry, soil science,
microbiology, plant science, and the underlying chemical processes,
author John Pichtel discusses relevant chemical principles as they
apply to the cleanup and removal of hazardous chemicals from soil,
geological strata, and groundwater. The first part of this book
provides an overview of the recent history of environmental
contamination and the formulation of relevant regulations, leading
to regulations for hazardous waste site remediation. This part also
provides a background for several salient aspects of site
remediation. The second part of the book closely examines field
remediation technologies, including phytoremediation,
bioremediation, and electrokinetic remediation. Theory of
operation, practical considerations, and possible environmental
impacts and other consequences of use are also discussed. Readers
of the first edition will discover two new chapters in this Second
Edition covering permeable reactive walls and technology selection.
This updated edition now also includes end-of-chapter questions and
instructions for completing two web-based exercises, one for the
chapter on environmental site assessments and one for the chapter
on technology selection.
