| Short description: |
This bulletin is designed to introduce some basic statistical methods which can be
used to help quantify uncertainties, allow for heterogeneity, and provide confidence
in making decisions when managing contaminated land.
|
| Long description: |
Proper management of contaminated land requires an understanding of site
conditions and of the nature and distribution of contaminants. This understanding is
derived from site characterisation activities, which typically include sampling of
surface and sub-surface soils and water. It is often assumed that the results obtained
from these samples are representative of the actual ground and contaminant
conditions but, this is not necessarily the case, due to heterogeneities in the site and
uncertainties in the measurements.
