摘要

This paper refers to the revaluation of soils contaminated with mercury, in the area around landfill, built on the territory of the former Soda PVC plant in Vlora (Albania), after its rehabilitation. The territory of the former Plant of Soda-PVC is described as an "Hot Spot" area in handling the UNEP report, enabling the implementation of the rehabilitation processes, which were finalized with the creation of a landfill. From December 2015 to March 2017 after the rehabilitation of the area around the landfill, several measurements of mercury concentration in the soil have been conducted, to analyze the evolution of the pollution.
