Techniques And Result To Environmental Remediation

By James Howard


Industrialization and advances in technology have contributed to the increase in environmental contamination. Currently, people are experiencing the effects of pollution. According to research done by the weather authorities, infection is the leading cause of climate change. The government has invested extensively in the process of environmental remediation. Various scientific institutions have come up with ways of dealing with these significant disasters.

Individuals have become ignorant leading to the government coming up with rules and regulations that govern the use of an environment. For example, there are restrictions on the cutting of trees. Those found guilty of the crime are often given a punishment. For example, you may be asked to pay for a large amount of money or face jail time. This is put in place as a way of discouraging people from engaging in the behavior.

The assessment process begins with an analysis of the region. History, uses if the site and the products available in the area are all examined. The results obtained from the test is then used in determining the best strategy to use. When an organization is found to be contaminated the nearby places are also investigated. For example, if an industry is found to be polluted all the neighboring companies will close.

The governing bodies should carry out a test regularly. However, this is not possible as it is expensive for this test to be done and the responsible parties are not willing to pay for the services. When an area is found to be contaminated the nearby places will be forced to carry out a test. This measure is done as the contaminants can quickly transfer from one point to another.

When a place is found to be contaminated by the government or the responsible authorities often make announcements that space is polluted. This can have an economic effect as the value of a property will drop. Also, it can lead to clients who were staying in the space to move. Despite these challenges the responsible governing countries have been able to come up with solutions.

Those places which are found to be contaminated have to be tested together with the neighboring villages. This will help in knowing how far the damage as the spread and at the same time treatment can be given to all. The process will start with people complaining of the effects experienced. The test is then conducted to determine the cause of the problem.

Treatments are carried out by solving the problem at hand by either containing it or by removing the damaged objects and moving them to a new area where it is treated. For example, if the soil is found to be contaminated an individual can choose to neutralize it using fertilizers or manure. A specialist can decide to extract the ground and move it to a new place where the toxins are removed.

Other methods used include surfactant enhanced aquifer remediation, pump, and treat, solidification and stabilization among others. Throughout the process of testing and treatment of a place, the community should be informed. Also, members of a community are asked to volunteer in assisting those responsible for the cleanup process. Testing and remediation services should be done regularly as it can lead to an increase in health risk.
