What is Environmental Remediation? — Environmental Standards
Environmental remediation is cleaning up hazardous substances by removing, treating, and containing pollution or contaminants from environmental media like soil, groundwater, and sediment. This process is crucial for protecting the environment and public health by reducing the presence of harmful substances[1][2][3]. Remediation can involve various methods categorized as ex-situ (excavation and treatment at the surface) or in-situ (treating contamination without removing soils or groundwater)[2]. Environmental remediation specialists are vital in addressing contamination caused by industries like oil and gas production, chemical spills, groundwater contamination, soil contamination, air pollution, and hazardous waste management[2]. The process typically includes initial site assessment, investigation, remediation plan development, implementation, final validation, and long-term monitoring[2]. Various technologies such as solidification and stabilization, soil vapor extraction, bioremediation, chemical oxidation, and more are used for remediation[1][3][5]. Environmental remediation aims to reduce radiation exposure from contaminated areas to protect people and the environment against harmful effects[3].
