Proceedings of conference:
Environmental Protection Act 1990 Part IIA
Non Human Risks From Contaminated Land
The
Environmental Protection Act 1990 requires assessors

of
receptors other than humans. This major conference for
the
first time brought together the leading authorities on
these
complex subjects to deliver 14 excellent papers
on this much neglected area
All papers on A4
