"Leachants" Natural Recordings by Native Speakers
Leachants are substances that are designed to dissolve and remove contaminants or impurities from a material, such as soil, rock, or waste. Leachants are often used in environmental remediation processes, such as soil decontamination or groundwater cleanup, to help break down or remove pollutants.
