A REVIEW ON THE VARIOUS TYPES OF SOIL CONTAMINATION WITH REMEDIATION

Amali Gitanjali

Abstract


The paper deals about the plethora of soil contamination by the industrial activities or accidental leakage. Several contaminations of soils have been included in the paper and suggested remediation methods for the remediation of contaminated soil is also discussed in the paper. Rise of population growth leads to large amount of demand, which affects the industrial growth. The re use of waste or any other surplus additives and bio-surfactants for the reduction of the contamination effects of the soil. Careful planning, storage, manufacture and disposal of the hazardous chemicals by the industries is to be taken care by the government authorities and industries. Remediation of contaminated soil is a necessity inorder to have a safe and clean environment. The geotechnical properties of the contaminated soil when studied has a lesser amount shear strength parameter compared to the virgin soil, on the remediation of contaminated soil the bearing capacity and the shear strength parameters of the soil increases which then can be used for several infrastructural purpose rather than remaining degraded waste lands.
