WHEN YOU ARE POLLUTED BY OTHERS:

Vulnerability
The vulnerability of a property has a direct and dramatic incidence on its value. Indeed, the environmental insurance of a property considered vulnerable may increase its cost considerably. The manager of the company may not have control over the risk of being polluted, but he actually can take measures to reduce the vulnerability of his property to zero. This measures are easily amortizable through the adjustment in the insurance costs and the property revaluation.

Corrective measures
When a pollution is detected in a property, the owner is under the obligation to take urgent measures: To know the pollution origin, to know if it's going to expand, to get specialized legal assessment and, at last, to apply corrective measures. The manager may need procedure alternatives and to know their implications in order to decide what measures to apply.

Ground restoring
There are different alternatives to restore polluted soils. The owner needs to know what are the most reliable from a cost/efficiency point of view to take a decision that can be defended before the Government.
