Evaluation of the ecological risk from contaminated soils

Summary

This is the first book in French to provide an overview of the principles and methods that can be used to assess the ecological risk of polluted soils. This truly didactic work offers a set of definitions before developing the various aspects of the evolution of pollutants in the soil and their toxicity. The reader is then taken through to the formulation of the risk, an essential element in establishing an approach that also includes economic, social and political data. Assessing the ecological risk of polluted soils is an essential introduction for any decision-maker, practitioner or student faced with the risks of pollution.
