Aim
The book will provide a single coherent narrative that explains sustainable and risk based land management from the concepts of land contamination and what triggers action on contaminated sites through to the processes of site investigation, risk assessment, risk management, and the achievement of sustainable approaches to risk management. It also includes a detailed treatment of remediation technologies and how they are implemented, taking particular account of achieving the goals of a circular economy, both in terms of the use of land and the use of soil. It provides an authoritative grounding across all of these topics with extensive citations to sources of more detailed information.
