The cost of cleaning up water and soil leads to the same undeniable
conclusion: Existing models of industrial development are simply
not sustainable from an ecological view point and they cost a lot
of money in purely economic terms. Mexico is no exemption to this
general rule and soil and groundwater contamination are neither
here, nor in other Latin American countries a new or emerging
issue. As an oil exporting nation, Mexico, historically has paid
major attention to hydrocarbon contamination and its implications
for the environment, especially when its impact was related to
drinking water safety and public health criteria. It is only more
recently, that a more generic and holistic approach has emerged,
which has included other industrial sectors and their environmental
liabilities. This new approach is directed towards the government's
and private industry's extended obligation and responsibility in
mega-site remediation, brown-field re-vitalisation and the
re-urbanisation of degraded land. This book arose from the
scientific interest and the environmental preoccupation of
researchers and governmental representatives alike. They provide a
concise overview of concepts and remediation/sanitation
technologies available today. At the same time they bear witness to
the wealth of solutions available in order to tackle the inherent
and very serious problem of environmental degradation in Mexico.
