Remediation of Former Manufactured Gas Plants and Other Coal-Tar Sites

Beschreibung

This book is a compendium of essential knowledge about remedial alternatives to address today's public health and environmental threats from coal tar. It combines scientific data with common sense and empirical lore passed down from generations of gas professionals. Almost encyclopedic in scope, it offers 265 tables of facts and associations to clarify the corresponding and interrelated conditions and factors necessary to define site-specific gas plant conditions. With 375 historic photographs and drawings and an extensive glossary, this book is an indispensible tool for gaining a working understanding of potential and actual gas plant contamination.
