Abstract
This paper describes an approach to quantify and compare the sustainability of different soil remediation options. The method is based on the extended exergy analysis and the key concept behind this approach is the identification of suitable reference situations. Taking several different references in to account allows for the quantification of the impact on the ecosystem and the capacity of the ecosystem to absorb the impact of the contamination.
