Les pays industrialisés sont actuellement confrontés au problème croissant posé par les décharges fermées ou abandonnées, dans lesquelles des déchets dangereux ont été déposés de manière inadéquate dans le passé. On y trouve fréquemment une grande diversité de résidus chimiques toxiques, qui peuvent polluer les nappes aquifères ou les eaux de surface, ou présenter d'autres risques inacceptables pour la santé humaine et l'environnement. Les programmes d'assainissement consistent généralement à identifier les substances présentes dans ces décharges «points noirs», et à évaluer les risques qu'elles présentent pour la santé et l'environnement. 3, record 3, French, - point%20noir
