How Does Environmental Remediation Work?

Environmental remediation is the process of cleaning up contaminated sites to restore them to a safe condition. This involves assessing the extent of pollution, planning the best methods for cleanup, and executing the plan.By employing advanced techniques, experts ensure that the environment is restored, preventing further harm to human health and ecosystems.

#ElectricalResistanceHeating (ERH) is an intensive #inSitu #environmentalRemediation method that uses the flow of #alternatingCurrent electricity to heat soil and groundwater and evaporate contaminants. Electric current is passed through a targeted soil volume between subsurface electrode elements. The resistance to electrical flow that exists in the soil causes the formation of heat; resulting in an increase in temperature until the boiling point of water at depth is reached.

Two species of #bacteria, Desulfovibrio aminophilus and Sporomusa sphaeroides, have been discovered to have the ability to digest some polyfluoroalkyl substances (#PFAS), specifically chlorinated PFAS.
