Abstract

Soil contamination is by nature accumulative. For this reason, control measures regarding soil contamination are divided into preventive and remedial approaches.<BR>The target of these measurements are for setting Environmental Quality Standards for soil.<BR>Reinforcement of the landfill standards set by the Waste Disposal and Public Cleansing Law have played an important role in the prevention of soil contamination.<BR>Since the landfill site is a place which define an area of containment from the environment, Soil Environment Quality Standards are not applied.<BR>The abolition standard has recently been introduced into the waste processing method. If the landfill site after abolition maintains a function distinguished from the environment, Environmental Quality Standards will also not be applied.<BR>Remedial measures applied to polluted soil are, firstly, to clean up and at least, to intercept human exposure to the soil. The Environment Agency revised investigative/measurement guidelines for soil and groundwater in January of this year.<BR>Examinations have also been made for the dioxins in contaminated soil.
