Tackling urban soil and groundwater contamination caused by chlorinated solvents

CityChlor is a transnational cooperation project that aims to improve the quality and minimize the pollution of sol and groundwater by developing an integrated approach to tackle the threats caused by contamination with chlorinated solvents in urban areas.

One of the work packages tries to encounter the need for cost-effective, reliable and fast tools for characterization of pollution, tools for measurements as well as models for risk-evaluation.
This will be done by:
- supporting and developing innovative tools;
- implementing and demonstrating these innovative tools on pilot sites;
- including the results in codes of best practices and promoting the use of appropriate innovative techniques.

The EnISSA method has been selected as one of the innovative technologies which can encounter the need for cost-effective, reliable and fast characterization of pollution. Within the CityChlor project, the EnISSA method will be tested and verified on a pilot site. Results will be compared with traditional soil investigation approaches. Finally, the conclusions of the project can lead to the development of a best practice for characterization of chlorinated solvents in urban areas.
