Prior to disposal, thesoil may require pre-treatmentto reduce concentration below the land disposal restrictionstipulated by the regulations.However, when the contaminated soil quantity is large and thecontaminated is deep, excavationand disposal in landfills may be very expensive and impractical.The most popular soilremediation technologies are:• Phytoremediation
All of these methods are based on manipulation ofphysical, chemical, electrical, thermal orbiological process and to extract, immobilize or detoxify thecontaminants.o Chapter 4: Economic considerationso Chapter 5: Conclusion
CASE SCENARIO:
The meltdown of Chernobyl's nuclear fission plant inApril 1986 caused a dispersal of 137Cs (Caesium) between Ukraineand Sweden. The highest amounts of radiation were measured in thenorth region, where fallout percolated into sandy topsoils withrainwater. by using the Phytoremediation method suggest theeconomic considerations and conclusion for thisproject.
