Topic 3 - Integrated management of contaminated land

Integrated management of contaminated land

This theme has the objective to discuss novel frontrunning strategies and integrated management of contaminated land and brownfields. Such management operations are typically complex, as they must deal with various exposure routes, multiple scales in time and space and usually involve significant uncertainties. Addressing such complexities is central to upgrading contaminated land to new uses, encompassing natural and economic value in a context of land stewardship.

Topics under this theme are:

3a) Dealing with multiple pathways and scales

3b) Area-based risk approaches, uncertainties and scales of pollution pathways

3c) Upgrading contaminated and degraded land
