Polluted groundwater is difficult to clean because contaminants can spread quickly and deeply within the groundwater system. Additionally, the natural filtering process in the ground can be slow, making it challenging to remove pollutants effectively. Restoration efforts can also be complicated and expensive due to the complex nature of groundwater flow and the variety of pollutants present.
Can air pollution be cleaned up?
