NATO Science Partnership Subseries: 2 Environmentally Devastated Areas in River Basins in Eastern Europe, Book 45, (Paperback)

The fall of the iron curtain revealed widespread environmental and safety short- comings in relation to industrial operations, mining and other human activities. It was the purpose of this Advanced Research Workshop, sponsored by NATO, to bring together a group of eminent experts from East and West in order to present and analyse environmental data, assess environmental damage, establish priorities, strategies and methods of remediation and compare these with case studies from the Western World. In this volume a number of important contributions have been gathered, that reflect the presentations and discussions held. Alfons Georges Buekens Vasily Victorovich Dragalov Table of Contents I.
