"Presents scientific and theoretical approaches to the evaluation and restoration of contaminated sites." (SciTech Book News, Vol. 26, No. 2, June 2002) "...essential to the libraries of...professionals as they provide real world analysis of the issues and applications to allow them to perform their jobs better." (Chemical Health and Safety, Vol. 10, No. 1, January/February 2003)"...The book will be essential reading for all those involved in land or water reclamation, regulators, environmental consultants and industrial ecotoxicologists. (Int Jnl of Environmental Analysitcal Chemistry, Vol.82, No.10, 2003)"...It is a clearly written and authoritative book that will be of great value to students , regulators and consultants alike." (Journal of Applied Toxicology, March-April 2003)"I fully agree with the comments made by the editors?that sponsored this book: 'This is a book that everyone involved in development of contaminated sites should read...'" (Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2003)
