  • Conference paper
Soil and Water Pollution Monitoring, Protection and Remediation

Part of the book series: NATO Science Series ((NAIV,volume 69))

Abstract

Large-scale contaminated megasites like Bitterfeld in eastern Germany are characterized by a regional contamination of soil, surface water and groundwater as a result of a long and varied history of chemical production.
