Basic Notes On Environmental Remediation

By Christine Green


Environment entails two main aspects, living and nonliving. From a general definition, ecology is the study of the home of an organism. Organisms are both the plants and animals. There are those factors that pollute or contaminate the environment. Nowadays, human beings are not so careful when it comes to taking care of different elements that make up the surroundings. However, each and every individual has an obligation to make sure that they observe cleanliness when it comes to water, soil and air. Therefore, it is important to understand importance of environmental remediation.

Quarrying is an activity that helps many people in earning a living across the globe. It helps many raise their standard of living. The mined granite, marble, limestone slate and sandstone were traditionally and recently used for hard flooring. Stones are used for building permanent buildings. However, this process causes noise pollution, damage to biodiversity, habitat destruction and air pollution.

This comes from dumping waste materials, such as plastic bags and bottles, in these water bodies. This activity makes the water unfit for general consumption by all creatures. The soil too is not left out. Most people think that farming is just the art of planting crops, weeding and harvesting. However, this notion has to be changed. There are some farming techniques that are very dangerous to the soil in that particular area.

To reduce this pollution from the air, it is wise for the government to look for ways to reduce these industries and vehicles. For instance, by burning these wastes in a fume chamber where by the fumes released to the atmosphere are less hazardous to the environment.

Some are suffering greatly both financially and physically due to skin cancer which to some point it is not treatable. The poisonous gas has also led to extinct of various animals and plants. This negatively affects the wildlife. Contaminated water released from factories drains in water bodies. They lead to death of some water animals and plants. Some emit products that has oil in them thus when released into any water body they cover up the surface of the water.

In this case, the professionals working in this department work to ensure that the soil and water consumed by human beings is fit. They achieve this through deep research and carrying out different tests on the two elements of the surroundings. Various pollutants could end up contaminating the water sources. This certainly will have serious implications on human and animal health. It is the work of these experts to help prevent such accidents from happening.

It is important to note that this process is essential to the environment for the existence of the organisms that are present in it. Mostly, it is out of the negligence of people that results to contamination of the environment. It is wise for the government to put precautions to the contamination agents that are within the country locality.

In conclusion, the responsibility to take care of the surroundings lies on each and every individual. Nature is so good at giving back, and when not taken good care of, the final result could have a negative effect on human, animal and plant life. But in areas where the environment is already contaminated, environmental restorative can be carried out to restore it back to its natural state.
