Abstract

This Special Series on Hazardous Waste Sites and Remediation Case Studies: Risk Reduction, Synergies Between Remediation and Restoration Goals was conceived in early 2024 to illustrate case and pollutant-specific derivations of risk reduction goals and the remedial actions needed to achieve them. Emphasis was given to cases where data were included to support the derivation of the remediation and restoration goals. Five papers were selected for the series, focusing on cases from a variety of locations, and stressors ranging from microplastics, metals including mercury, pesticides, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). While the cases are diverse, they share a risk-based paradigm to guides the framing of remedial goals and actions.
