The Australasia-Pacific Region supports approximately 50% of the
world's population. The last half-century has witnessed a rapid
increase in the regional population, agricultural productivity,
industrial activities and trade within the region. Both the demand
for increased food production and the desire to improve the
economic conditions have affected regional environmental quality.
This volume presents an overview of the fate of contaminants in the
soil environment; current soil management factors used to control
contaminant impacts, issues related to sludge and effluent
disposals in the soil environment; legal, health and social impacts
of contaminated land, remediation approaches and strategies to
manage contaminated land, some of the problems associated with
environmental degradation in the Australasia-Pacific Region and
steps that we need to take to safeguard our environment.
