Abstract
Thus the overall aim of the proposed method is the development of a generally applicable tool for evaluation of polluted areas, based on contaminants’ toxicity, soil resistance, efficiency of remediation cost as well as on legal aspects of land-use, in order to establish priorities for soil remediation practices.
