Abstract

Disposal of chemical waste from pesticide results in contamination of soil, ground water and surface water. The release or potential release of contaminant from such sites may endanger human health, welfare & the environment. Human health could be at a risk due to inhalation of air borne contaminants, direct contact with soil /sediment and ingestion of contaminated groundwater. It is, therefore, necessary to remediate contaminated soil by adopting suitable measures. The objective of study is to determine the efficiency of soil washing technology in the removal of pesticide waste adsorbed on soils. In this paper we are giving our experimental work on remediation of soil which comprises of soil washing technique.
