in situ remediation

In situ remediation is a method used to clean up contaminated soil or groundwater directly at the site where the pollution occurred. Instead of removing the contaminated material and treating it elsewhere, this technique treats the pollutants in their original location. Common approaches include using chemicals, microorganisms, or natural processes to break down or neutralize harmful substances. This method is often more cost-effective and less disruptive to the environment compared to digging up the contaminated material. It helps restore contaminated sites, making them safer for people and ecosystems without extensive excavation.
