Petroleum Hydrocarbons (Oil, Gasoline)

Health risks: Cancer, central nervous system effects, respiratory issues. Remediation methods: Bioremediation, air sparging, thermal treatment.

Mercury (Hg)

Health risks: Neurological damage, kidney damage, Minamata disease. Remediation methods: Soil vapor extraction, activated carbon adsorption, excavation followed by off-site disposal.

Pesticides (Organochlorines, Organophosphates)

Health risks: Endocrine disruption, neurotoxicity, cancer. Remediation methods: Bioremediation using microbes, phytoremediation, and soil vapor extraction.

Lead (Pb)

Health risks: Neurotoxicity, developmental delays in children, renal damage. Remediation methods: Phytoremediation, soil washing, stabilization/solidification.

Cadmium (Cd)

Health risks: Carcinogenic, bone demineralization (Itai-itai disease), kidney damage. Remediation methods: Chemical stabilization, electrokinetic remediation, chelate-assisted phytoextraction.

Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs)

Health risks: Cancer, immune system suppression, reproductive and developmental disorders. Remediation methods: Thermal desorption, ultraviolet light degradation, chemical dechlorination.

Arsenic (As)

Health risks: Skin lesions, various cancers, cardiovascular disease. Remediation methods: Phytoremediation, soil washing, in situ chemical immobilization.
