Land pollution in the National Capital Region / W.A. Black & Douglas Stewart.: En66-1/5E-PDF
"Air and water act as media for polluting agents; whereas, in contrast, land pollutants are locational and more specific agents. Pollutants can be defined generally as the residuals of socio-economic services to man. Those considered in this study are pits and quarries, solid wastes (dumps), derelict automobiles, ruins, wood wastes and rubble. Their distribution, shown on the maps, covers rural areas; urban centers or built-up areas are not included. These residuals occupy a total area in the National Capital Region of 4,400 to 4,700 acres, of which pits and quarries account for some two-thirds of the acreage. The land affected is generally farmland, woodland, residential land or a combination of these"--Abstract, page vii.
