This comprehensive treatise covers both important aspects of their management: \u003ci\u003eIn Chemistry and \u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eBiology of Solid Waste\u003c\/i\u003e the principles and assessment are scientifically studied and discussed, while \u003ci\u003eEnvironmental \u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eManagement of Solid Waste\u003c\/i\u003e turns to the practical applications, such as prediction, restoration and management. Previously, dredged material was a commodity, it could be sold as soil, e.g. to gardeners. In the meantime, dredged material from the North Sea (e.g. the Rotterdam or Amsterdam harbor) must be treated as toxic waste. Many environmentalists, managers and companies do not know how to solve the inherent problems. This new work deals with the chemical, physical and biological principles; the biological and geochemical assessment; the prediction of effects and treatment; and finally, with the restoration and revegetation. It is written by many leading scientists in the various fields, and will prove invaluable for scientists, managers and politicians who are concerned with the present environmental situation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2011-12-22\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783642729263\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-642-72924-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 244.0cm x170.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 305.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Berlin Heidelberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44421736038540,"sku":"9783642729263","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783642729263.jpg?v=1756245913","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783642729263","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
