Remediation

Physical Remediation "Soil Flushing"

Recovers soil from contaminants

Disturbances in Ecosystems

Declines health of ecosystems

Disrupts environment

Does more damage than protection

Bioremediation

Hard to Contole

Animals eat toxic plants/microogranisms

Plants/microogranimsms grow in undesired areas

Great for the Environment

Non-Disruptive

No use of chemicals

Recyclable

Eco-friendly

Chemical Remediation

Soil Leaching

Removes salt through irrigation

Limits seed's ability to germinate

Affects crop yield and plant growth

Soil Oxidation

Transfer of electrons from compounds to oxidize soil

Chemically converts toxic and dangerous contaminants/chemicals to less hazardous

Solidification/Stabilization

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

Limits the release of Hazardous chemicals

Physical Remediation

Only accessible to first world counties

Uses many difficult to come by materials

Requirements to preform this task are vigorous

Very costly and time consuming

Disrupts economic opportunities

Market will decline in product from effects to food chain

Negatively affects famers production due to corrupted ecosystems

Lack of resources available

Bioremediation

Cheap

Requires no material

Little, if not any assistance

Does not take any time away from jobs

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

Chemical Remediation

Soil Leaching/Oxidation

Limits types and qualities of plants

No production or profit from farmers and markets

Stabilization/Solidification

Accessible to third world countries

Cheap

Little, inexpensive materials required

Insufficient

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

Bioremediation

Cannot control

Spread of toxins through food chain and into humans

Cannot preform job very effectively

Not reliable

Microorganisms could get eaten

Plants may not survive in different environments

Requires barely any involvement from humans

Not time consuming

requires no materials or hard work

Chemical Remediation

Soil Leaching/Oxidation

Lack of Food and 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

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

Stabilization/Solidification

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

Crops will flourish will healthier soil

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

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

Physical Remediation

Hard to achieve

Uses lots of materials

Time consuming

Hard work

Affects the food chain

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

Disrupts farmi

Physical Remediation

Contributes to Climate change

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

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

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

Bioremediation

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

Learn how to maintain them properly

Better assist the plants to preform the task more sufficiently

Not a sufficient technique

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

Chemical Remediation

Stabilization/Solidification

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

Help reduce climate change

Better air, food and life quality for future students

Soil leaching and Oxidation

Long term bad effects

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

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

A temporary solution

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