In Situ Cleanup of Contaminated Soil and Groundwater

Dear Colleagues,

There is a huge number of contaminated sites, where previous industrial or other activity has led to hydrocarbons, heavy metals, or other compounds in the soil and groundwater.

Traditional remediation technologies work by excavating and disposing of the contaminated material. This procedure is costly and associated with significant environmental burdens.

Novel approaches aim to carry out a cleanup directly on the spot (in situ).

The advantages of in situ techniques are time and costs. However, they are not always known or utilized.

This Special Issue collects in situ processes for brownfield remediation. The Special Issue will provide an up-to-date overview of what in situ techniques allow to achieve.
