Contaminated
land achievements & aspirations 
The proceedings
of a conference organized by the Society of Chemical Industry and the Royal
Society of Chemistry at Loughborough University in September 2004.
In 1979, the SCI held Britain’s first contaminated land conference, and,
25 years on, this landmark event looks at the current state of the art in contaminated
land management, the progress that has been made since 1979, and what current
priorities should be.
