Risk, Regulatory, and Monitoring Considerations: Remediation of Chlorinated and Recalcitrant Compounds

This is one volume of a seven-volume set of proceedings from a May 2000 conference attended by environmental remediation professionals from around the world. It deals with the challenges of making decisions about treatment options and also about long-term monitoring to verify that cleanup goals have been met. Fifty-one contributions offer advice based on case studies, on regulatory perspectives and decision-making tools; resource allocation and cost considerations; advances in site characterization; environmental data management, geostatistics, and GIS; analytical and detection techniques; risk based analyses for remediation; human health/ecological risk assessment; and innovative monitoring and control systems.
