D.N. Lerner. N,R.G. Wallon (Eds.). <br />The Geological Society. Bath, UK, 1998 <br /> <br />, <br />, <br /> <br />This book is bnsed on a conference held in 1996 <br />which covered issues relaled locontaminated land and <br />.roundwater thAI are major environmental issues in all <br />indusuial counuics and will be of even more impor- <br />lance in tbe next cenlury. <br />The book is divided inlo six sections emphasizin, <br />policy decision makinl and conlaminant behavior and <br />includes case studies and site investiiations. <br />The firsl section deals with the cleanup of conwni. <br />nated hmd and JlUundwmr and begins with a serious <br />look al whether or DOl VQC cO!ltaminated ground. <br />waler can be remediated. The conclusions that present <br />technologies are limited in their abilily 10 cleanup <br />VOC conlaminated siles (except in a limited number <br />of relatively simple cases) should be considered by <br />policy maken before making decisions for such <br />siles. Three other articles in this secdon deal with <br />differenl technologies used fur cleanin& up contami- <br />naled sileJ: interceptor Irenches, liner stabilization <br />and bioloricaJ ucatment. In Ihe article by Walton <br />and Hiigins, three case mslones for polluted sites in <br />Portsmoulh are presented showing different <br />approaches to risk evaluation and their application <br />for optimizin& environmenlal improvements and <br />tinancial relUms. A tinal article deals wilh the deriva. <br />lion of guideline values for risk assessment based on <br />calculated human exposure by different palhways. <br />The second section contains seven articles dealing <br />with "Policy, protection and vulnerability". Christie <br />and Leeus present an inleresting look at how different <br />countries in Europe deal wilh orphan sites. The differ. <br />ence between states in identifying and dealing wilh <br />sUl;h sites is quite large and the actual number of <br />orphan sites is unknown. Other articles in Ihis seclion <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />Journal <br />of <br />Hydrology <br /> <br />deal wilh the <<anomies of contaminaled sile reme. <br />dialion, training needs for geologists involved in <br />colllaminaled land managemenl. Ihe need for a legis- <br />lative framework 10 deal with contaminaled land, deli- <br />neation of caplure zones around small groundwater <br />sources and the use of a regional scale computer <br />model 10 evaluate the eff~ls of land disposal of <br />animal wasles on &roundwaler pollulion. The final <br />ankle in this section describes how risk assessment <br />was used 10 assess potential groundwater pollulion <br />resulting from the Channel Tunnel Rail Link. <br />Section 3 contains three conlributions on site inves- <br />tigation lechniques. UV ftuorescence for delineating <br />hydrocarbon distribution is described wilh actual field <br />data. Argyraki and Ramsey describe !WO sampling <br />trials designed to reveal discrepancies arising from <br />sampling (as opposed to chemical analysis). TIle <br />final anicle in this section discuS$es how 10 make <br />Ihe best use of infonnalion in site ll55essment and <br />describes a software pDl;kage d,csigned for this <br />purpose. <br />The section on pollulant behavior on field sites <br />(Section 4) contains six anicles covering ropics as <br />diverse as hydrochemistry of coat tar wasleS and <br />biodegradation. Most oflhese studies preseot detailed <br />case histories which should be of inlerest to those <br />involved wilh similar problems. <br />The tinal section (Stcdon 5) presents research on <br />pollutanl behavior. Broholm and coworkers discuss <br />the transport of dissolved l;reOSOIe compounds <br />through fractured media and the sofJltion of Iwo creo- <br />sOte components. Other studies include non-ideal <br />cation exchange in sandstones. distribulion of VOCs <br />in an unsaluraled chalk aquifer, the use of surfactants <br />as soil washing agents and the relevance of DNAPL <br />tracer lests from Canada 10 solvent groundwaler <br />contaminalioninthe: UK. <br />Contaminated land and groundwater: future <br /> <br />0022.1694l99i$.
