reportSoil Remediation
6.6.2 Short description

Soil contamination with carcinogenic organic substances and/or heavy metals is found in all countries. Conventional technologies include soil washing (ex situ) or fillings with iron scap (in situ). Soil remediation is generally very expensive and the conventional methods are not always successful. New applications are therefore needed.
