Multi-criteria analysis for identifying sustainable soil remediation alternatives

The overall objective of this project was to develop a procedure for multi-criteria analysis, MCA, which can be practically applied for sustainability appraisal of soil remediation alternatives.

Specific goals were to:

1. Incorporate effects on soil system functions for evaluating ecological sustainability
2. Prepare a prototype for MCA for identifying sustainable remediation alternatives.

This project provided novel research on how to better incorporate ecological effects in sustainability appraisal at contaminated sites.
