👉 Cleanup engineering refers to the specialized field of engineering focused on the design, development, and implementation of systems and technologies aimed at mitigating environmental pollution and restoring contaminated sites. This includes strategies for the removal or neutralization of hazardous substances, waste management, and the restoration of ecosystems. Cleanup engineers employ a range of techniques, from bioremediation using microorganisms to degrade pollutants, to advanced technologies like soil vapor extraction and in-situ chemical oxidation. Their work is crucial in addressing contamination from industrial activities, oil spills, and other sources, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations and safeguarding public health and the environment.
