PRIME: an innovative test laboratory for soil and water decontamination
In France, almost 9,000 sites are contaminated by heavy metals, such as lead, copper and chromium, as well as by hydrocarbons and organochlorine compounds, which include pesticides and solvents. Decontaminating them is a major challenge for our environment. This is the objective of the experimental PRIME platforms, installed at the BRGM site in Orléans.
