Remediation

Various remediation methods address environmental and economic challenges associated with soil contamination. Physical remediation techniques like soil flushing can disturb ecosystems and harm overall health, often doing more damage than good.

Remediation

Remediation

Grade 11 Student

Soil leaching and Oxidation

A temporary solution

Students can see that ridding the soil of contaminants is a very good temporary method of cleansing our earth

Long term bad effects

Difficulty in having the right nutrients needed to survive down the road

Will contribute to a changing environment in the future, putting students and humans at risk

with help and much research from students and future scientists, improvements can be made to the technology to make it more efficient, durable and better for the environment

Better air, food and life quality for future students

Help reduce climate change

Not a sufficient technique

Plants will not be enough to fix climate change, which will greatly impact students in the future

Learning more about microbial through future years of school, will enhance improvement and understanding of the plants and microorganisms

Better assist the plants to preform the task more sufficiently

Learn how to maintain them properly

Contributes to Climate change

With damage to ecosystems, the food chain will be severely affected which will eventually cause humans to decline in health

Physical remediation disrupts land and ecosystems, causing future generations to experience traumatic earth defects and lack of healthy harvesting land and soil

As soil flushing does more harm to the environment than good, students in the future will be in a worse place and experience the worsening effects climate change

Social Perspective

Disrupts farmi

The food chain becomes corrupted to due land corrosion, which affects the health of humans, due to the deficiency of healthy plants, animals and nutrients

Human health and existence will therefore decline

Hard to achieve

Hard work

Time consuming

Uses lots of materials

With using stabilizing agents, the health of the soil can be improved

Healthy soil will improve air quality through the production of trees and plants

Crops will flourish will healthier soil

Humans will therefore have the food and nutrients required to stay healthy

Lack of Food and nutrients

Humans's health will suffer due to the hit in the food chain, and the inability to find sufficient nutrients

Due to the damage to soil caused by leaching, plants and organisms will have trouble flourishing, growing and germinating

No plant or food production or profit form markets or famers

Requires barely any involvement from humans

requires no materials or hard work

Not time consuming

Cannot control

Not reliable

Plants may not survive in different environments

Microorganisms could get eaten

Cannot preform job very effectively

Spread of toxins through food chain and into humans

Economic Perspective

Stabilization/Solidification

Insufficient

With cement binder, the S/S can be mad more durable, last longer and be more effective

Accessible to third world countries

Little, inexpensive materials required

Soil Leaching/Oxidation

Limits types and qualities of plants

No production or profit from farmers and markets

Intoxication of animals

Affects the food chain

Lower crop yields

Affects economic well being of humans through inability to make money off of the crops

Cheap

Does not take any time away from jobs

Little, if not any assistance

Requires no material

Physical Remediation
Disrupts economic opportunities

Lack of resources available

Negatively affects famers production due to corrupted ecosystems

Market will decline in product from effects to food chain

Only accessible to first world counties

Very costly and time consuming

Requirements to preform this task are vigorous

Uses many difficult to come by materials

Environmental Perspective

Chemical Remediation
Solidification/Stabilization

Limits the release of Hazardous chemicals

Use of greener materials (magnese) could make S/S more environment friendly

Soil Oxidation

Chemically converts toxic and dangerous contaminants/chemicals to less hazardous

Transfer of electrons from compounds to oxidize soil

Soil Leaching

Limits seed's ability to germinate

Affects crop yield and plant growth

Removes salt through irrigation

Bioremediation
Great for the Environment

Eco-friendly

Recyclable

No use of chemicals

Non-Disruptive

Hard to Contole

Plants/microogranimsms grow in undesired areas

Animals eat toxic plants/microogranisms

Physical Remediation "Soil Flushing"
Disturbances in Ecosystems

Does more damage than protection

Disrupts environment

Declines health of ecosystems

Recovers soil from contaminants
