Neutralising the contamination of polluted soils requires a process of site remediation, preferably with the aim of restoring the area to its original state but at least with the goal of stemming the contamination to prevent any continued pollution.
The cleaning process can be performed either in-situ, on-site or off-site.The in-situ process involves cleaning the soil without actually moving it. On-site treatment involves removing the soil and subjecting it to treatment on the site using mobile cleaning apparatus. In the case of off-site treatment, this process is performed at a remote location.
