WORKSHOP OBJECTIVE
Severe soil contamination with metals and organic pollutants occurred at
numerous lands under strong pressure of industry or other human activities. Such
sites are often barren due to contaminant toxicity and other conditions detrimental to
plants such as infertility, acidity, salinity, compaction etc. This leads to further
dispersion of contaminants through wind erosion, leaching and runoff. Remediation
of contaminated soils and wastelands is an urgent need to reduce the impact of
contaminated sites on local environment. Various methods of remediation are known
but the technology must be properly selected for a particular site. Many remediation
actions failed in such extreme environments due to wrong selection of the
remediation method consuming significant funds.
Contamination of agriculturally used soils may lead to excessive transfer of
contaminants to food chain. Such soils also have to be properly managed.
The meeting is aimed to present and discuss recent developments in
remediation of soils and wastelands contaminated with inorganic or organic
contaminants. The proposed topics of the Workshop will include: problem
characterization, procedures for strategy selection, in-situ and ex-situ remediation
techniques, phytoextraction and phytoremediation, management and monitoring of
remediated sites, evaluation of remediation effectiveness, legislation and policy
framework, etc. Attention will be given to examples of practical applications of
remediation techniques.
