Soil is a fundamental natural resource for life on the planet. Without it, activities such as agriculture, biomass production, nutrient recycling and regulation of the hydrological cycle would not be possible. Soil contamination poses a threat to the health of ecosystems and people.
Restoring the quality of the subsoil (soil and groundwater) requires a step-by-step approach: investigating and characterizing the subsoil, assessing the risk associated with its contamination, designing a remediation plan, executing it and monitoring it.
For more than two decades, we have been dedicated to the care and protection of soils. Our team is expert incharacterization and decontamination techniques that allow us to optimize its management and revalue it. We manage to simplify the complex.

PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are a large family of synthetic chemicals used for decades because they repel water, grease, and heat. The problem is that many PFAS are highly persistent in the environment and can migrate from soil into groundwater and surface waters—often creating long-term liabilities for industrial sites,

Emerging contaminants require investment in the knowledge and applicability of remediation techniques for detection and remediation. LITOCLEAN is developing several subsurface remediation projects where 1,4-dioxane is the main remediation compound. The treatment of this compound is a challenge in itself due to its particularities. The company’s commitment to R&D&I, the

Several Autonomous Communities publish technical guides to establish the guidelines to be considered in the preparation of this type of studies, in order to guarantee the reliability of the results obtained. In soil investigation and remediation, Quantitative Risk Analysis (QRA) is an essential decision-making tool for assessing the adverse effects

The presence of pharmaceutical compounds in water bodies has become one of the most significant environmental concerns of the past two decades. Traces of analgesics, antibiotics, hormones, psychiatric drugs and other active pharmaceutical ingredients are being detected in rivers, groundwater and even treated drinking water supplies across the globe, raising

Pollutants of anthropogenic origin, i.e. from human activities, can adversely affect health and the environment. Even low levels of such pollution can present risks due to the physicochemical nature of the substances released and have an impact on the various environmental compartments, such as the hydrosphere (water), the lithosphere (soil),
