Contaminated Marine Sediments
Assessment and Remediation
by National Research Council, Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences, Commission on Engineering and Technical Systems, Committee on Contaminated Marine Sediments
Description
The pervasive, widespread problem of contaminated marine sediments is an environmental issue of national importance, arising from decades of intentionally and unintentionally using coastal waters for waste disposal. This book examines the extent and significance of the problem, reviews clean-up and remediation technologies, assesses alternative management strategies, identifies research and development needs, and presents the committee's major findings and recommendations. Five case studies examine different ways in which a variety of sediment contamination problems are being handled.
