| Short description: |
This review, thus, aims to provide a resource of information regarding S/S technology, to inform potential users of the strengths and weaknesses of this technology. This review:
• considers the interactions between contaminants and soil components;
• identifies the fundamental principles underlying S/S and the treatment of inorganic
and organic contaminants in soils and wastes;
• presents case studies in which S/S has been used successfully and where problems
have occurred;
• discusses appropriate physical and chemical analytical techniques and modelling
approaches that may be used; and
• evaluates the long-term durability of S/S waste forms.

| Long description: |
In order to review the current status of S/S and the science underpinning this technology a detailed search of the literature has been undertaken. The methodology employed has primarily, involved searching a number of electronic databases augmented by publications such as books and reports provided by a number of key organisations and individuals Science Report Review of scientific literature on the use of stabilisation/solidification for the treatment of contaminated soil, solid waste and sludges around the world. Furthermore, as the science review has developed, a number of draft documents have been circulated to approximately 100 active workers in the field of S/S for comment. The consultation process extended to approximately 1 year to June 2003 and has resulted in a significant amount of in-depth comment, which has been carefully considered and incorporated where possible in this final review document.
