Areas in the camps set aside for cooking spaces, temporary learning spaces, etc have been used as defecation areas and are quite polluted, with (in some cases significant) human faecal matter as a result.
The pollution will have permeated below surface, what would be the best material or processes to decontaminate the ground in order that these areas can safely be redeveloped as cooking, child friendly, temporary learning spaces without health risk? It has been proposed lime be applied. Is this the most suitable option or are there preferred alternatives? If lime is to be applied what would be the appropriate application quantities?
