The Reuse and Recycling of Contaminated Soil

About this book

This book presents a new way of viewing contaminated soil - as a resource that in many instances can be recovered. Addresses the waste problem associated with contaminated soil and considers alternatives that are environmentally sound, cost-effective, and time efficient.
