contaminated site remediation

Contaminated site remediation is the process of cleaning up locations that have been polluted with hazardous substances, such as chemicals or waste. This typically involves identifying the source of contamination, assessing the extent of the pollution, and applying various techniques to remove or contain the harmful materials. Remediation can include methods like excavation, bioremediation (using microorganisms to break down pollutants), or capping contaminated areas to prevent exposure. The goal is to restore the site to a safe condition, making it suitable for future use while protecting public health and the environment.
