Remediation is the process of cleaning up a contaminated site so that it is safe for human use. It involves removing hazardous substances, usually soil or water, accumulated on or around the area. Remediation may be a short-term goal to achieve before construction begins, or it may be part of a long-term strategy where removal occurs over an extended period.
Mitigation refers to actions taken to reduce or eliminate impacts from future releases of contaminants at an existing facility. It typically involves fencing off areas around a facility so that no one enters them, installing air filters and other protections over facilities, and taking other steps to reduce or eliminate the possibility of contamination occurring again.
Some materials to watch out for in any construction and that are displaced by the wind in the construction site can be Asbestos, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and gases including carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen oxides.
Below we will explore the different types of remediation and mitigation in construction.
