Environmental risk reduction methods for illegal dumping sites of industrial wastes are described. When storing the industrial wastes in the illegal dumping sites for a relatively long period, diffusion of hazardous materials from the wastes should be prevented in a various ways. The outline of techniques for preventing the diffusion is reported such as sheet capping, wall barrier, leachate treatment, bioremediation and flushing.
