Cleanup of contaminated sites

Cleanup of contaminated sites involves removing or neutralizing pollutants to restore environmental health and safety. This process may include excavating polluted soil, treating contaminated water, installing barriers, or applying chemicals to neutralize toxins. The goal is to reduce risks to people, wildlife, and the ecosystem. Cleanup efforts are guided by scientific assessments to determine the extent of contamination and the most effective methods, ensuring that the site becomes safe for future use or passive space. Proper cleanup helps prevent health issues and protects natural resources from long-term damage.
