CRC Care services

CRC CARE`s research in this area is developing new principles, indicators and strategies to support the development of new policy frameworks and guidance for remediation and measurement of contaminants. The research is also producing strategies to effectively, and positively, engage with communities to manage perceptions surrounding remediation technologies and their application.

CRC CARE`s students are researching into the fate and dynamics of contaminants, and are developing methods for estimating the reasonable maximum exposure and risk to human health and ecosystems.

Aligned to the Cleaning Up program students are investigating technologies, indicators and strategies for the management and remediation of contaminated soil. They also investigate ways to address the limitations of existing assessment and remediation technologies as applied to Australia’s unique soils environment.

Aligned to the Cleaning Up program students are investigating technologies and strategies for the management and remediation of contaminated water. They also investigate ways to address the limitations of existing assessment and remediation technologies as applied to Australia’s aquifers and waste water streams.

Students are investigating how some contaminated soils, treated soils, municipal and industrial wastes may be safely reused on land to return maximum value without creating further contamination issues.
