Soil and groundwater pollution caused by contaminants including
petroleum hydrocarbons, represents a serious threat to the environment
in NATO and NATO Partner countries. Solutions are needed that represent
practical alternatives to costly remedial strategies yet still yield
benefits to site managers. This publication comprises the presentations
made at the NATO Advanced Research Workshop held in Sinaia, Romania 9 -
11 October, 2006. The contributions represent a wide range of issues and
challenges related to contaminated site management from low cost
solutions to petroleum contaminated sites to advances in biological
treatment methods. This publication is meant to foster links between
groups facing challenges cleaning up contaminated sites through
presentations that explore the problems currently being addressed and
solutions that are emerging in the field.
