Remediation of contaminated sites with cement

<p>Remediation of contaminated sites with cement, also called solidification/stabilization with cement (S/S with cement) is a common method for the safe <a href="/facts/Environmental_remediation/S6wKBuhm">environmental remediation</a> of <a href="/facts/Contaminated/RC0L7KRy">contaminated</a> land with <a href="/facts/Cement/VfDMkk12">cement</a>. The cement solidifies the contaminated <a href="/facts/Soil/5Ddpr3QM">soil</a> and prevents <a href="/facts/Pollutant/4f9kmFzq">pollutants</a> from moving, such as <a href="/facts/Rain/MLqcQEyx">rain</a> causing leaching of pollutants into the <a href="/facts/Groundwater/JYM2IDS2">groundwater</a> or being carried into <a href="/facts/Stream/S5he7Cuo">streams</a> by rain or <a href="/facts/Snowmelt/GHknH4bQ">snowmelt</a>. Developed in the 1950s, the technology is widely used today to treat industrial <a href="/facts/Hazardous_waste/hvbE6Cup">hazardous waste</a> and contaminated material at <a href="/facts/Brownfield/E1su5meG">brownfield</a> sites i.e. abandoned or underutilized properties that are not being redeveloped because of fears that they may be contaminated with <a href="/facts/Hazardous_waste/hvbE6Cup">hazardous waste</a>. S/S provides an economically viable means of treating contaminated sites. This technology treats and contains contaminated soil on site thereby reducing the need for <a href="/facts/Landfill/7K4efGgz">landfills</a>.
