You have been given a number of soil samples from a former industrial site suspected to be contaminated with waste from a former manufactured gas plant. In 3000-4000 words your report should contain the following:
1) What contaminants may be present on the site
2) How you would analyse the samples for these contaminants (with referenced methods)
3) What potential information the analysis of the samples can give you about the source of the contaminants
4) How you would track down the responsible candidate liable for the costs of remediation
You should make extensive use of scientific literature in your report.
