These three volumes provide valuable information to help bring rational and scientifically feasible solutions to petroleum contaminated soils. State-of-the-art information on both technical and regulatory issues is covered, including environmental fate, health effects, risk assessment and remedial alternatives. They show why petroleum contaminated soils are a problem - and propose solutions for that problem. These books are an excellent reference for regulatory personnel and environmental consultants at all levels.

Kostecki, Associate Director, Northeast Regional Environment Public Health Center, School Of Public Health, University Of Massachusetts At Amherst, Received His Ph.D. From The School Of Natural Resources At The University Of Michigan In 1 980. He Has Been Involved With Human And Ecological Risk Assessment And Risk Management Research For The Last 12 Years. Dr. Kostecki Has Co-Authored And Co-Edited Over 50 Articles And 16 Books On Environmental Assessment And Cleanup Including: Remedial Technologies For Leaking Underground Storage Tanks, Soils Contaminated By Petroleum Products; Petroleum Contaminated Soils, Vols. 1 To 3: Hydrocarbon Contaminated Soils And Groundwater, Vols. 1 To 4; Hydrocarbon Contaminated Soils, Vols. 1 To 5; Principles And Practices For Diesel Contaminated Soils, Vols. 1 To 5; Sesoil In Environmental Fate And Risk Modeling, Contaminated Soils, Vol. 1 And Risk Assessment And Environmental Fate Methodologies.Dr. Kostecki Also Serves As Associate Editor For The Journal Of Soil Contamination, Chairman Of The Scientific Advisory Board For Soil And Groundwater Cleanup Magazine As Well As An Editorial Board Member For The Journal Of Human And Ecological Risk Assessment.In A Addition. Dr. Kostecki Serves As Executive Director For The Association For The Environmental Health Of Soils (Aehs) And Was The Scientific Advisor For The Workshop On Assessment And Remediation Of Oil Contaminated Soils Held In Kuwait 18-22 March 1995.Dr. Manaf Behbehani Obtained His B.S. In Biology From The University Of Akron, Usa (1969) And M.S. In Zoology From The Same University (1972). He Continued His Graduate Studies At The University Of New Hampshire Receiving Ph.D. In Marine Ecology And Invertebrates In 1978. Since Then, He Has Been Teaching Ecology And Marine Biology Courses At The Faculty Of Science, Kuwait University. From 1 982-1987, He Held The Post Of Marine Scientist At The Regional Organisation For The Protection Of The Marine Environment (Ropme) In Kuwait. Dr. Behbehani Has Worked On A Number Of Pioneering Research Projects, Namely To Study The Zooplankton Of Kuwaiti Waters And The Western Section Of The Arabian Gulf, And To Study The Distribution, Abundance And Taxonomy Of Marine Invertebrates Living In The Intertidal Zones Of Kuwait. He Has Published Several Scientific Articles And Has Served As External Examiner For Several Masters Thesis. From 1991-1995, Dr. Behbehani Was Vice-Dean For Planning And Laboratories At The Faculty Of Science, Kuwait University And Is Presently Chairman Of The National Biodiversity Committee, State Of Kuwait.
