Assessing risks posed by hazardous ground gases to buildings (revised) (C665).
Geoff Card et al. CIRIA 2007

With government policy encouraging redevelopment on brownfield sites there is a potential for elevated concentrations of potentially hazardous soil gases to be present. This report consolidates good practice in investigation, the collection of relevant data and monitoring programmes in a risk based approach to gas contaminated land. Available from CIRIA.
