New cleanup technologies battle credibility gap

Article Abstract:

A study conducted by the National Academy of Sciences' National Research Council proposes the new cleanup technologies to hel increase demand for remediation. The report states that new technologies could reduce the cost of cleaning up contaminated sites and increase their effectiveness. Remediation developers and consultants, however, dismiss the idea of developing new cleanup technologies.
