Soil remediation and environmental cleanup are growing uses for liners and lining material. Soil contamination liners help separate the clean soil from the soil infected with complex chemicals that can cause environmental problems. Whether for long or short-term remediation, soil contamination liners can help protect the environment from potential negative effects of pollution.
Soil Remediation
Soil remediation is the removal of polluted and contaminated soil and sediment, eliminating as much of the environmental risks from the affected area as possible. By using soil contamination liners to separate the polluted from the clean soil, you can take immediate action in removing the negative impact on the ecology of the area and on human health. Soil contamination occurs due to a number of reasons. From the rupture of underground storage tanks to the leaching of waste from landfills to fuel tankers going off the road, soil remediation must occur as fast as possible in order to prevent further environmental damage or contact with the human ecosystem.Common Chemicals Involved in Soil Contamination

- Solvents
