On Site Assessment of Contaminated Sites: Application of Sensors for On-Site Instrumentation

  • Chapter
Field Screening Europe 2001

Abstract

Detailed knowledge of the type, the total mass, and the location of contaminants is an essential prerequisite for the risk assessment and the characterization of actual and suspected contaminated sites regarding the required and type of measures to be undertaken (remediation, partial remediation, monitoring, registration). Furthermore, for a possibly required remediation of the subsurface, the knowledge of mass and distribution of these contaminants is the decisive factor to perform remediation measures as cost effective as possible and to ensure the success of these measures.
