摘要

Soil, groundwater, surface water and sediment systems play an important role in quality of life. The harmful effects of chemical pollution of such systems have been a concern for politicians, the public and scientists for decades. More than half a century of experience in soil and groundwater quality management gives the opportunity to abstract some interesting trends in societal responses, and how these relate to cost effective research and management approaches.
