Sustainable Environmental Clean-up : Dynamic assessment for sustainable remediation of contaminated sites
Author
Summary, in English
consequences of their decisions in site clean-up projects in terms of contaminant spread risk, social, environmental, and economic impacts from a dynamic life cycle perspective. For this, experience from experienced site managers and stakeholders is used and the methodology is implemented, among others, on a seriously contaminated site in Sweden overseen by the Swedish Geological Survey as the main case study of the thesis. The results show that ”gentle” remedy measures, which are often considered sustainable, may not be the best options in terms of life cycle impacts, although they generally gain significantly higher sustainability scores at the beginning of the remediation
process. The time these measures rank below more invasive methods is calculated by DynSus.
