Soil performs many functions that are necessary for humans, flora and fauna. It is the foundation on which numerous human and economic activities are built. Centuries of industrial and human interventions (industrial operations, road constructions, farms, backfills, etc.) have nonetheless left their mark. Signs of pollution are increasingly observed, even outside areas that have a history of heavy use. They entail management requirements and constraints or even prohibitions on use, often accompanied by high costs and delays in the implementation of real estate projects, establishments and others.
