In this chapter of e-courses we collected information on the processes, materials and wastes associated with chemical industries. Mainly the technical considerations are introduced here that need to be borne in mind at the start of an investigation for possible contamination. The attached studies are useful to the risk management and decision making process.Largest part of the information derives from the UK Environmental Agency website as "DoE Industry Profiles".
