In-situ treatment
In-situ treatment refers to a method of addressing environmental contamination directly at the site where it occurs, rather than removing the contaminated material for treatment elsewhere. This approach often involves techniques such as injecting substances into the soil or groundwater to neutralize pollutants or enhance natural processes that break down contaminants. By treating the contamination on-site, in-situ methods can be more cost-effective and less disruptive to the surrounding area compared to traditional cleanup methods that require excavation or transport of materials. This strategy helps restore the environment while minimizing further impact.
