Contaminated Land
As early as 1996, a worldwide survey by UNEP
showed that all countries are susceptible to land contamination

land gives a particular importance to pollution prevention programmes.
We have in the past concentrated on developing
guidance documents related to identification and remediation of

Identification
and Management of Contaminated Sites - Methodological Guide
- UNEP/ADEME
(English,
French)
The French Agency for Environment and
Energy Management ADEME) and the United Nations Environment
Programme (UNEP) developed this methodological guide on
Identification and Management of Contaminated Sites in order
to increase decision-makers' awareness and facilitate the
development and rapid implementation of contaminated site
prevention, management and rehabilitation policies. It allows
the sharing of experiences particularly for the benefit
of emerging and developing countries.
