We participated in the University of the Basque Country Summer Course on “New Trends in Restoration of Degraded Soils III: Trace Elements, Organic Pollutants and Constructed Wetlands” that was held in Vitoria-Gasteiz (Spain), October 9th and 10th, 2018. The course focused on the latest trends used for soil decontamination, with special attention to phytoremediation practices. A session on artificial wetlands for the clean-up of contaminated water and a session for lindane-contaminated sites were also included. Field visits to contaminated and degraded sites of Vitoria-Gasteiz (Gravestones of Lasarte, Júndiz Industrial Area) were a very interesting part of the course.
