商品簡介
Veteran practitioner Bocard notes that strategic responses for both petroleum spills at sea and hydrocarbon pollution of land include assessment of the risks for human health and activity and of the ecosystem. This leads to the concept of net financial and environmental benefit, which necessarily includes allowing natural attenuation to take its course. As he explains this concept and why it works, he describes the characterization, detection and analysis of hydrocarbons and their pollution of water in soils, and explains hydrocarbon ecodynamics and modeling. He explains the environmental impact a set advance and the assessment of ecological and health risks including assessment and determination of risks through direct observation. In what will be his most controversial chapter he describes how and how far to intervene in a pollution event, and how to determine if the costs of cleaning up a spill are economically reasonable.
