Biogeodynamics of Pollutants in Soils and Sediments Risk Assessment
In the USA, Western and Central Europe, there are many large-scale polluted sites that are too large to be cleaned up economically with available technologies. The pollution is caused by mining activities, smelters and other heavy industries, not only to

Preface In the USA, and western and central Europe there are many large-scale polluted sites. These sites, however, are too large to be cleaned up with available technologies at reasonable costs. They are polluted by mining activities, smelters and other large industries, and the pollution extends not only to soils, but also to sediments in waterways and reservoirs. In addition, similar, new sites are being created with lit
