ex situ remediation

Ex situ remediation is a process used to clean up contaminated soil, water, or waste materials by removing them from their original location. This technique often involves excavating the polluted material and treating it in a different environment, such as a treatment facility or a specially designed area. Methods used can include chemical treatment, biological processes, or physical removal of contaminants. By addressing pollution away from the site, ex situ remediation aims to restore the environment and protect public health effectively.
