摘要: In recent decades the remediation of contaminated land and ground water has been marked by considerable technological innovation. Whilst the development and deployment of these technologies is driven in part by remediation experts, their deployment is also influenced by how they are perceived (eg risk or benefit) and accepted within broader societal contexts. This presentation will highlight some of the key findings from a CRC CARE research project examining the public’s perceptions and acceptance of different remediation technologies. These research findings are drawn from a survey conducted with over 2000 residents who live in the vicinity of a range of contaminated sites in Australia, and involves discussion of the application of different technologies–physical, chemical, bio, and thermal-that could be used to remediate land and groundwater contamination at these sites. The findings are innovative in …
