Lap Lambert Academic Publishing Pollution des sols : CRISE ET CONTRÔLE, Volume IV Broché

Soil Pollution: Crisis and Control-Volume IV examines the evolution of soil-pollution governance from scientific recognition and environmental monitoring to regulation, implementation, remediation, and long-term stewardship. The volume reviews major regulatory developments across the European Union, China, the United States, Latin America, Africa, Asia, Canada, Australia, Russia, and the post-Soviet region, highlighting how different jurisdictions address contamination, soil health, liability, monitoring, risk assessment, remediation, and enforcement. Particular attention is given to the emergence of systematic soil-monitoring frameworks and the transition from fragmented approaches toward integrated soil governance. The volume synthesizes lessons from landmark cases including Minamata, Tar Creek, La Oroya, Kabwe, Fukushima, Ashio, Bunker Hill, and Sydney Tar Ponds, demonstrating the long-term consequences of industrial contamination and the importance of scientific evidence, institutional accountability, environmental justice, and sustained remediation. It concludes by identifying major research and policy frontiers, including undiscovered contamination, faster and more effective.
