Defined as the rehabilitation of an environmentally contaminated site, environmental remediation can take a wide variety of forms, from cleaning up after an oil spill to removing contaminants from groundwater.
Above all else, environmental remediation seeks to restore contaminated sites and make them safe for humans and animals. Due to the large scale of many contaminated sites, environmental remediation is often an expensive process that requires considerable planning and manpower.
In recent decades, accumulated experience and advances in remediation technologies have helped remediation professionals restore sites in a highly efficient manner. Soil contamination often responds well to vapor extracting and washing techniques, while groundwater can be remediated via circulating wells. Another possible remediation solution is phytotechnology, a low-tech process in which vegetation is used to extract, diminish, or immobilize pollutants contained within the groundwater, surface water, or soil.
