What Are the Remediation Techniques for Contaminated Soil and Water?
Remediation techniques for contaminated soil and water include physical, chemical, and biological methods. Physical methods, such as soil excavation and containment, involve removing or isolating contaminants. Chemical methods, such as chemical oxidation, break down pollutants into less harmful substances. Biological methods, including bioremediation and phytoremediation, use microorganisms or plants to degrade contaminants. These techniques vary in effectiveness, cost, and environmental impact.
