History of soil contamination in the
Netherlands
 Industrialisation in the 19th century has led to
significant soil and groundwater pollution.
 In the 80’s of previous century: realisation of
soil pollution problem
 Initial policy: complete removal by
excavation very expensive, not feasible
 In situ complete removalalso not feasible
 Focus on safety and land use: Dutch approach
