Summary
Interaction matrices provide a framework in which to set technical and commercial objectives for contaminated land remediation. From that framework stem questions for investigating the site and for the treatment and redevelopment options. The paper introduces the use of these interaction matrices in this context, in particular as a tool to support risk assessment.
Kurzfassung
Interaktionsmatrizes schaffen einen Rahmen, mit dessen Hilfe technische und wirtschaftliche Ziele für die Sanierung von Altlasten abgesteckt werden können. Daraus ergeben sich Fragen, anhand deren der Altstandort bewertet und die zu treffenden Maßnahmen sowie die Möglichkeiten für die Wiedernutzbarmachung beurteilt werden können. Der Artikel erörtert die Anwendung der Interaktionsmatrizes in diesem Zusammenhang vor allem als Instrument der Risikobewertung.
Résumé
Des matrices d’interaction fournissent un cadre dans lequel les objectifs techniques et commerciaux d’assainissement de terres polluées peuvent être déterminés. Des questions sur l’investigation du site et les options de traitement et de redéveloppement proviennent de ce cadre. Cet article introduit l’utilisation de ces matrices d’interaction dans ce contexte, particulièrement en tant qu’outil permettant de soutenir l’évaluation des risques.
