Soil Protection in The Netherlands

  • Chapter
Heavy Metals

Part of the book series: Environmental Science ((ENVSCIENCE))

Abstract

Environmental policies concerning air and water quality were well developed before soil protection became an important political issue. One of the reasons for this might have been that effects of poor air and water quality are clearly visible, whereas effects of soil pollution can remain unnoticed for quite a long time. Very often effects of a bad or even dangerous soil become apparent only during land reclamation or other major changes in land use.
