A main challenge in decision making on soil remediation is risk management through acquisition of knowledge using more informative models and data. To demonstrate the approach to this problem, value of information should be considered and computed. To improve the quality of pred…
Horizontal sheet-like electrodes were used in the field to induce electroosmotic flow in an effort to develop a system for treating shallow contaminated soils using electrokinetics. The system was attached to a DC power supply, creating an electrical gradient of 20 to 31 V/m and…
"Soils and Groundwater Pollution and Remediation explores the toxic levels of metals radionuclides inorganics, and anthropogenic organic compounds found in the soils and groundwater of Asia, Africa, and Oceania. This 14-chapter book reviews the distribution, transformation and d…
