EPA Series: A Citizen's Guide to Cleanup Technologies
Citizen's Guide Series to Cleanup Technologies (Summary) (PDF)
The Citizen's Guide series is a set of 22 fact sheets that summarize cleanup methods used at Superfund and other sites. The series was originally released ten years ago and was updated in 2012 to include information about new technologies and techniques. Each fact sheet is two pages long and answers six questions about the cleanup method: 1) What is it? 2) How does it work? 3) How long will it take? 4) Is it safe? 5) How might it affect me? and 6) Why use it? Spanish translations of these guides will be available in 2013. Until then, the Spanish versions of the 2001 guides are still available.
