Abstract: Remediation technology for contaminated soils is being developed rapidly in recent years. However, there is a hysteresis in enacting remediation standards for contaminated soils. In particular, no corresponding research has been done in China. Methodology of enacting standards for the remediation of contaminated soils is discussed in order to promote the work in this field. It is emphasized that technological cleanup levels including limits of detection, environmental background levels and regulatory cleanup levels should be fully considered in the enactment of remediation standards.
