English: In Situ Bioremediation involves the addition of gases, nutrients, or microbes into soil in order to extract pollutants.[1] Often contaminants include spills from underground pipes or buried wastes that leak into groundwater.[2] Injection wells, monitoring wells, and extraction wells recirculated water until the concentration of pollutants decreases and the clean water can be utilized. Injecting O2 detoxifies the pollutants typically to carbon dioxide and water. The chart in the upper right hand corner depicts a sample trend for the concentration of pollutants over several weeks or months.
