Advances in the Characterisation and Remediation of Sites Contaminated with Petroleum Hydrocarbons

Show other versions (1)

This open access book synthesizes important advances in the assessment and management of soil and groundwater systems contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons, especially in the form of light non-aqueous phase liquids (LNAPLs). LNAPL characterization and remediation is challenging due to the multi-p...
