Miêu tả
Tóm tắt:The focus of the hazardous waste management business has switched in recent years from litigation and site ssessment to remediation. Site restoration usually proceeds through several phases and requires a concerted, multidisciplinary effort. Thus, remediation specialists have a variety of back grounds, including geology, hydrology, chemistry, microbiology, meteorology, toxicology, and epidemiology as well as chemical, mechanical, electrical, civil, and environmental engineering. Because of differences in the formal education of these professionals, their ability to perform or review remediation design calculations varies considerably. For some, performing accurate design calculations can become a seemingly insurmountable task. Most, if not all, of the books dealing with site remediation provide only descriptive information on treatment technologies, and none, in my opinion, provide helpful guidance on illustrations of design calculations. This book was written to address the current needs of practicing engineers, scientists, and legal experts who are employed by industry, consulting companies, law firms, and regulatory agencies as well as university seniors and graduate students in the field of soil and groundwater remediation. It provides practical and relevant working information, derived from the literature and from my own hands-on experiences in consulting and teaching in this field. I sincerely hope that this book becomes a useful tool for the professionals and students working in site remediation. Your comments and suggestions are always welcome, and my e-mail address is jkuo@fullerton.edu. Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Tom Hashman and Ziad El Jack of the Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County for reviewing the manuscript and providing valuable comments.
