This volume  presents an overview of the fate of contaminants in the soil  environment; current soil management factors used to control  contaminant impacts, issues related to sludge and effluent disposals  in the soil environment; legal, health and social impacts of  contaminated land, remediation approaches and strategies to manage  contaminated land, some of the problems associated with environmental  degradation in the Australasia-Pacific Region and steps that we need  to take to safeguard our environment.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1996-02-29\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792339007\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-009-1626-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 718\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46312482275468,"sku":"9780792339007","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792339007.jpg?v=1771525526","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792339007","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
