Petroleum-contaminated soils price regulation for aids of land use optimization and ecological risk mitigation

The widespread practice involves remediation of petroleum-contaminated soils by an intense usage of microbiological remedies. However, this approach lacks the study of consequences for the soil fertility and other environmental factors. According to our laboratory and field studies, the petroleum-contaminated high-grade soils under certain conditions can be effectively remediated with the increase in fertility and decrease in toxicity. We propose the modification to the land price regulation practice, which will promote the usage of such advantageous remediation techniques, when required. This would result in ecological benefits and sustainable development of the region.
