United Kingdom Soil Treatment Market – Overview
Soil treatment is the process of treatment and elimination of impurities to cleanse and revitalize the soil. Techniques for soil remediation improve the quality of the environment and make it safer for human, animal, and plant life. Hazardous pollutants, such as PCBs, volatile chemicals, radioactive materials, metals, organic compounds, and microorganisms are removed or contained by them. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), ozone (O3), potassium permanganate (KMnO4), and sodium persulphate (Na2S2O8) are the most often utilized compounds for soil treatment. These substances can be employed either alone or in combination with other catalyzing agents to boost their activity and performance.
United Kingdom Soil Treatment Market – By Technology
Based on technology, the United Kingdom soil treatment market is segmented into physicochemical, biological, thermal, and others. The biological soil treatment technology segment accounts for the highest share in the United Kingdom soil treatment market. Environmental scientists utilize specific bacteria during this procedure to absorb and degrade soil contaminants. Cleaner soil, healthier soil, and better air are all benefits of bioremediation. However, bioremediation is less invasive than excavation-based remediation techniques, which have the potential to be disruptive, and it can help with environmental impact cleanup without endangering fragile ecosystems.
Impact of COVID-19 on the United Kingdom Soil Treatment Market
In the UK, the COVID-19 pandemic led to an economic recession with a historically low GDP during the first lockdown in 2020. The market for soil remediation has been negatively impacted by COVID-19. The deployment of stringent lockdown measures significantly reduced the necessity for soil treatment. Due to a lack of workers and strong demand for vegetables, crop production declined, which further widened the supply-demand gap. There was a significant decline in the demand for organic compounds as well which affected the United Kingdom soil treatment market growth.
