Inhaltsangabe
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are synthetic organic chemicals, manufactured in the US from 1929 to 1977, that still contaminate the air, water, and soil. This report proposes a framework and guidance for assessing remediation alternatives for exposure of humans and other living organisms to PCBs in contaminated sediments, evaluating the likelihood that specific remediation technologies will achieve their remedial objectives, and estimating human and ecological risks associated with remediation approaches in light of the availability, costs, and effectiveness of the various approaches. There is no subject index. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Softcover. Zustand: Good. Used - good. Ships from the USA. This book provides a risk-based framework for developing and implementing strategies to manage PCB-contaminated sediments at sites around the country. The framework has seven stages, beginning with problem definition, continuing through assessment of risks and management options, and ending with an evaluation of the success of the management strategy. At the center of the framework is continuous and active involvement of all affected parties--particularly communities--in the development, implementation, and evaluation of the management strategy. A Risk-Management Strategy for PCB-Contaminated Sediments emphasizes the need to consider all risks at a contaminated site, not just human health and ecological effects, but also the social, cultural, and economic impacts. Given the controversy that has arisen at many PCB-contaminated sites, this book provides a consistent, yet flexible, approach for dealing with the many issues associated with assessing and managing the risks at Superfund and other contaminated sites.
