How Do Geomembranes Prevent Toxic Substance Leaching?
Geomembranes serve as a physical barrier to block the migration of toxic substances. Their impermeable nature ensures that even harmful chemicals, such as heavy metals and organic compounds, do not seep into the groundwater or soil. This containment is crucial in facilities like landfills, where the buildup of toxic leachate could otherwise result in significant environmental contamination.
