Land Contamination Management
Contaminated land, areas that have been affected by chemical products or heavy metals during the course of industrial or commercial activity, impact human health and impose severe environmental and economic disadvantages. Solid and liquid contaminants can penetrate soil and eventually reach the groundwater table, seriously contaminating larger tracts of land and bodies of water.
Effective assessment, control and management of contaminants is critical since once contaminated, land rehabilitation and reclamation is a complex, expensive process which is not always 100% effective.
