Site Characterization and Cleanup

Site characterization and cleanup involve assessing a contaminated area to understand the type, extent, and sources of pollution, such as chemicals or waste. This process includes collecting soil, water, and air samples to identify pollutants. Once the contamination is understood, cleanup efforts are planned and implemented to remove or contain harmful substances, restoring the site to safe conditions. The goal is to protect public health and the environment by effectively managing polluted sites, often following regulatory standards and using environmentally responsible methods.
