With the increasing development of brownfield and landfill sites, ground gas is a common problem encountered by engineers and scientists and this book not only raises awareness of the phenomenon but also provides practical solutions to the difficulties experienced.

This book provides practical guidance to engineers, regulators and designers on assessing ground gas risk and the design of appropriate protection measures.

It will be of immense value to professionals and advanced students within geotechnical engineering, geo-environmental engineering, ground engineering and environmental health, including engineers and applied scientists in these disciplines. Researchers, regulators and design offices will also find this book to be of great use.

'The Ground Gas Handbook is an excellent resource for a professional working in the field of contaminated land and who is often confronted with situations where the risks of ground gas have to be considered. - give an excellent overview - the introductory chapters - are highly recommended for someone just starting in the field or as a brush up of old knowledge.'
