Abstract
In order to decide on the appropriate response to a soil pollution incident it is necessary to accurately determine the conditions obtaining in the ground. Several different sorts of information are required. These include the physical and chemical nature and spatial distributions of the contaminants. Furthermore other parameters are needed both at the contaminated site and in the surrounding soils in order to assess the migration potential and thus potential impact on the local and far-field eco-spheres.
