Contaminated Land Management
Contaminated Land Management involves identifying, assessing, and addressing land that has been polluted by hazardous substances, usually from industrial activities, waste disposal, or accidents. The goal is to protect public health and the environment by cleaning up these sites or managing their use safely. This process includes testing the soil and groundwater, determining the level of contamination, and deciding on appropriate cleanup methods. Proper management ensures that the land can be reused responsibly and minimizes risks to human health and the ecosystem.
