    • Summary

    Here is pioneering new information-the result of 20 years of research by the world's leader to help develop a genuine understanding of the behavior of the all-pervasive dense chlorinated solvents in the vadose and unsaturated zones. Now you can know the basic chemical processes for dense solvent spills, how spill volumes translate into magnitudes of contamination zones, how to remediate existing spills, and how to predict spill behavior. This new book is chemical, physical, quantitative, and qualitative-made especially valuable by 48 full-color illustrations and descriptions. This is an exacting work that should prove invaluable for years to come.
