The 2011 International Forum on Contaminated Sites Remediation aimed to improve Chinese soil environmental science and technology, to promote the development of Chinese contaminated-site management systems based upon risk assessment, to strengthen the engineering application ability of Chinese sustainable environmental restoration and to promote international cooperation and communication in contaminated-site management. At the same time, it was aimed at discussing the industrial development of environmental-risk assessment and remediation for contaminated sites, the current situation regarding the development of contaminated-site management and remediation, R&D, the manufacture and application of remediation equipment, financing mechanisms, engineering operations, etc. The result is a veritable handbook guide to the field.
