This book describes all the techniques and procedures required for designing and constructing a repository for hazardous waste and for assessing its function in short- and long-term perspectives.
Focuses on why soils and sediments remain contaminated. This book helps readers understand why specific contaminants remain in soils and sediments, how much of a threat they pose to human health and the environment, and what steps to take for mitigation.
Since the publication of the first edition there have been numerous developments on sustainability assessment tools and practices. The new edition has four new chapters regarding monitoring and assessment, more details on treatment technologies, both in situ and ex situ, and discussions on the mitigation of geodisasters. Additional sections have been added to discuss sustainability assessment protocols, industrial ecology methodologies and the impact of the development of energy sources, including shale gas exploration, and tight oil recovery. All remaining chapters have been updated and expanded.
This timely book examines changes in soil properties and behaviour caused by short- and long-term stresses from anthropogenic activities and environmental forces. Introducing new concepts of soil behaviour, soil maturation, and soil functionality, it integrates soil physics, soil chemistry, and soil mechanics as vital factors in soil engineering. The book focuses on two key areas in environmental soil behaviour: the use of soil as an environmental tool for management and containment of toxic and hazardous waste materials, and the impact of ageing and weathering processes and soil contamination on the properties and behaviour of soils.
