Removal and Abatement

Removal and abatement refer to processes aimed at eliminating or controlling hazards or harmful substances, particularly in environmental and health contexts. "Removal" involves extracting the source of danger, such as hazardous materials like asbestos or lead, from a site. "Abatement," on the other hand, focuses on reducing the risk or severity of exposure, which can include containment, repair, or mitigation measures. Both processes are essential for ensuring safety and compliance with regulations, protecting public health, and maintaining a clean environment.
