soil decontamination

Soil decontamination is the process of removing or reducing harmful substances, like chemicals or pollutants, from the soil to restore its health and safety. This can involve techniques such as washing the soil, using specific chemicals to neutralize contaminants, planting certain plants that absorb pollutants, or excavating and replacing contaminated sections. The goal is to prevent environmental damage, protect human health, and enable safe reuse of the land. Effective decontamination depends on the type and level of contamination and the intended future use of the soil.
