Land that has previously been developed but is now vacant or abandoned is classified as a Brownfield Site. Often located in urban areas Brownfield sites can include previous industrial or commercial sites that may still have existing structures that have a serious risk of contamination. Contaminants can include chemicals, heavy metals, asbestos, tar, oils, gases and even radioactive substances. Ensuring the Soil, Land and Groundwater are cleaned effectively and are safe for human habitation takes an experienced professional, Groundwater Remediation expert. Brownfield sites can safely be used for future housing as long as any pollutants or contaminants have been thoroughly and professionally cleaned from the entire area. The main Goal when using any of the complex Groundwater Remediation processes is to restore contaminated groundwater to a safe level for human use and minimise any environmental impact. Depending on the contaminant involved remediation can consist of using chemical reactions to break down pollutants, pumping the water out, filtering it through specialised systems or introducing microbes to biodegrade contaminants. The extraction and disposal method of groundwater remediation is probably one of the most common and cost-effective ways of dealing with what is a complex and complicated issue. The main challenges to using this method are finding out exactly how to access the groundwater in the first place, then extracting it from the ground, and then deciding how to get rid of it safely.
