While the Industrial Revolution ushered in a period of rapid economic growth, increased life expectancy, and a better quality of life for millions worldwide, it also created a landscape where contaminated hazardous waste sites abound. Unfortunately, these sites have caused an unacceptably harmful effect on human beings and the environment. Restoring these sites to a condition where they will not cause adverse effect to human health and the environment—and doing more to ensure that such contamination is prevented in the first place- is one of the main areas of expertise of civil and environmental engineers. This 2-volume book presents a roadmap for hazardous waste management. The second volume focuses in on site characterization, the key as well as newest methods for remedication and stabilization, and hazardous waste site management, including landfill design, and onsite testing and analysis. The book closes out with a useful glossary of terms. | Hazardous Waste Management Volume Ii by Sukalyan Sengupta, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
