Abstract
Consideration of what reclamation or treatment methods may be adopted can only properly be done once a comprehensive site investigation has been carried out (see Chapter 4). Environmental pollution is usually viewed in terms of a source and of pathways to a target at risk. Once a risk is identified, the options available are to eliminate the source, remove the target, or to cut or restrict the pathways (Figures 5.1 and 5.2). All three options are available, singularly or together, for dealing with contaminated land.
