Basic Notes On Environmental Remediation

By Christine Green


The environment we live in is polluted with different harmful substances. These substances are produced by different manufacturing companies. They cause pollution on our surroundings. This has a negative impact on human health, plants and animals. Land remediation authority requests an immediate action on Environmental Remediation.

There is remediation such as the soil cleanup which involves strategies that are used to purify and remove pollutants from it. It contains the underwater remediation and the two are affected by the same contaminators or pollutants or are affected by the same factors. Therefore, bearing it in mind that both soil and groundwater originate from the same source then they must be remediated at the same period.

Excessive use of farm fertilizers, industrial activities and chemical spills are the main contaminators of the soil. Therefore, they must be used with care or should not be applied in excess to the soil. Air also requires cleaning up. Mostly, air is polluted by burning of compost wastes, releasing of toxic fumes to the atmosphere by the industries and vehicles that exhaust fumes to the environment.

Some become deaf while some cannot be able to hear easily not unless you shout at them. Pollution of air due to poisonous gas emitted causes breathing problems. Some are for a life time and cannot be treated while others are treatable. Exposure of skin to air pollutants has led to skin aging and inflammatory such as eczema, atopic dermatitis and pimples. Skin cancer is the most severe one which has caused death of many people across the world.

Environment restorative is a process that is very important in cleaning up an area or restoring it to its natural status. In most instances, pollutants in the soil and water are brought about by industrial firms that do not operate anymore, or those that closed their businesses before regulations were put in place.

It includes water surfaces which are the lakes, stream and rivers which can be contaminated by pollutants released directly to them or by runoff from the ground. Industries have a tendency of releasing these wastes into the water. Most of estates also direct their sewages into the water bodies hence contaminating them.

Some manufacturing companies emit sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide. These gases react with water molecules in the air to produce acids. This results to acidic rain. This rain has indirect health effects on humans which may lead to serious illnesses, such as cancers and respiratory system related diseases.

In conclusion, it is the responsibility of each and every one to join hands in maintaining what surrounds us. May it be soil, water and air all are important for the survival of organisms. The health and well-being of all living creatures is wholly dependent on the state of the environment. Rules and regulations have been set to ensure that the surrounding is kept safe for everyone. It is sad that some individuals cannot obey them.
