Mutual distrust defines the relationship between those who are the sources of hazardous wastes and those who oversee their activities. A lack of credibility, argue the authors, is a formidable, if not the biggest, obstacle to properly managing hazardous waste in the United States. Nowhere is the credibility gap wider than where there are hazardous waste management facilities or where sites have been proposed.The purpose of this book is to provide comprehensive perspectives on hazardous waste sites in the United States. The sources of hazardous waste are described along with the scientific and legal climates that allowed wastes to be discarded with little attention to impacts. Evidence is weighed for and against public health, as well as environmental, economic, and social damages at abandoned sites. Political processes and analytical techniques are suggested and illustrated for those who are involved in the siting of new facilities. A strategy for hazardous waste management is offered, together with approaches to substantially reduce the difficulties faced by local planners and site managers who face a hostile public.A historical legacy of mismanagement, fueled by exaggeration of impacts and by a lack of information, characterizes hazardous waste management in the United States. This book will be important to planners, environmental scientists, and public health officials. In order to assure accessibility for the casual reader, the authors keep the explanation of mathematical methods and technologies in this area to a minimum.

Hazardous Waste Site Remediation is an outstanding textbook that reviews specific treatment processes, as well as pertinent basic concepts in organic geochemistry, material balance mass transfer, thermodynamics, and kinetics. Following a quantitative approach to source control, the text covers regulations, materials handling, engineering principles, soil vapor extraction, chemical extraction and soil washing, solidification and stabilization, and chemical destruction. It also explores topics in bioremediation, thermal processes, risk assessment, and waste minimization. A solutions manual is available.
A Guide for Site and Soil Description in Hazardous Waste Site Characterization

A guide has been prepared to assist field personnel to identify, describe, sample, and interpret site and soil characteristics of hazardous waste sites where metal contamination is suspected or known. It is directed to on-scene coordinators, project managers, work teams, and others who may need to apply the basic principles of soil science without formal training. It meets the need of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for standard procedures, guidelines, or protocols that address soil and site contamination with metal and metalloid species. Thirty-five "knowledge frames" are provided for commonly encountered site and soil characteristics, each of which contains specific guidance for the description of a parameter. The format of the knowledge frames is compatible with the Environmental Sample Expert system (ESES) software under development by Lockheed Engineering & Sciences Company for EPA EMSL-LV. The guide is also designed for use with an accompanying field pocket guide, which provides methods for site and soil description and analysis.
