The Department of Environment (DoE) published a series of industry profiles in 1995 which have now been updated by CL:AIRE and industry with seed funding from the Environment Agency. The original profiles provide information on the processes, materials and waste associated with individual industries with regard to land contamination.
They are not definitive studies but they introduce some of the technical considerations that need to be borne in mind at the start of an investigation for possible contamination.
The 47 original publications in the series were originally scanned and created into PDF documents by Defra and are now available as free searchable PDF downloads. XXXXXXXX The quality of the documents is poorer than normally provided, however their usefulness to the risk management process is such that it was still felt important to make them available.
The updated profiles (on the next page) draw on information from the original documents (where available) and presents the information in a simple interactive matrix, with further information available on each profile as an individual page. This information must only be used as a guide to understand what potential contamination may be associated with a specific industry.
