Q?
What is the difference between abatement and remediation?
-
A.
Abatement is a strategy of removing or lessening the problem so it no longer causes a health hazard to others. Remediation is the process of addressing the underlying problems by outlining the scope of the problem, the source and recommendations for elimination.
