Om den här e-boken

This book provides a unique source of reference on the chemical analysis of potentially contaminated land. It assists in specifying appropriate analyses, relevant strategies for carrying out analyses, and methods of interpreting results within the new risk-based legislative framework for contaminated land. It addresses all aspects of the analysis, from delivery of the samples to the laboratory to the presentation of the results to the clients. Emphasis is placed on concentrated, tabular data, wherever possible. Problems of analysis are highlighted and solutions are proposed. Asbestos is covered in detail in the chapter on inorganic parameters, and a chapter is included on the new techniques of ecotoxicity measurement.

Directed equally at the analytical chemist and the environmental scientist or engineer responsible for commissioning analyses of potentially contaminated soil or water samples, the book is written in a way that will prove helpful to both new and experienced practitioners. As such, it is one of the first volumes to bridge the gap between the customer and the supplier.

Om författaren

K. Clive Thompson is the Chief Scientist of Alcontrol Laboratories in the UK. He is an experienced and well-known environmetal researcher in analytical field.

Paul Nathanail combines a full academic research and teaching workload with a busy consultancy that ensures he is up to speed with both recent developments and current practice in the field of contaminated land management. His research interests include the development of novel methods of site characterisation and risk assessment and in the innovative application of such methods on real sites.He has contributed to many technical guidance documents published by the Environment Agency of England and Wales, Scottish Executive, CIRIA and SNIFFER and is the author of over 50 technical papers and books. He is a co author of the Contaminated Land Ready Reference — a key compilation of technical guidance for practitioners. He runs the EPSRC IGDS MSc in Contaminated Land Management at the University of Nottingham, is a member of the FIRST Faraday steering committee and runs a research group specialising in contaminated land and brownfield regeneration issues, and a co-editor of a forthcoming series of position papers on contaminated land management to be published by Thomas Telford.
