Chemically contaminated land has only recently been recognized as
an immediate or long-term potential hazard, and published guidance
on how to tackle such land has been sparse. Indeed much of the
available technical work emphasizes the risks and dangers, rather
than indicating safe and economical strategies of reclamation. This
book provides a comprehensive treatment of the important aspects of
land reclamation. Its basic aim is to dispel the myths that have
become associated with the subject and to indicate methods and
strategies that can be used for safe and economical reclamation.
The authors concentrate on the more important facets of reclamation
and indicate where advice and information is more or less certain.
As in any newly developed field there are still uncertainties and,
for this reason, not all the chapters contain equivalent amounts of
detail. All the authors have expertise in the field of land
reclamation, and differences in emphasis between authors reflect
the present state of the subject. Overall, the book emphasizes that
contaminated land can be reclaimed safely provided that sufficient
attention is paid to detail and that the proposed end use of the
land is appropriate and based on a detailed knowledge of the site.
