Soil contamination is a result of human activities that allow hazardous substances to accumulate in soil and thereby to increase the risk to the environment or to human health. There is an estimate of over 2.5 million contaminated sites in Europe and nearly 24 000 of these are in Finland. The most common soil contaminants are oil hydrocarbons and metals. The main anthropogenic activities that contribute to soil contamination include fuel distribution and storage, industrial activity, waste treatment, shooting ranges as well as sawmill and impregnation areas. Soil restoration has mainly been done by excavating and treating or placing the contaminated soil elsewhere (ex situ -treatment). An alternative method is to treat the soil in the conta...
