Contaminated Soil – Special Hauling and Disposal
What is Contaminated Soil?
Contaminated soil contains any substance that exceeds naturally-occurring levels and poses a health risk. Commercial areas and former industrial sites are at the biggest risk for soil contamination. Some of the most common contaminants in commercial soils are: pesticides, petroleum products, asbestos, lead, and VOCs (volatile organic compounds.)
Exposure to contaminated soil can happen in a variety of ways:
- Groundwater contamination (wells)
- Breathing soil dust and particles
- Absorbing through skin
- Eating food grown in contaminated soil
