CHEMICAL company Orica will remediate about 25,000 cubic metres of DDT-contaminated soil at an industrial site in western Sydney.
The soil, at Christina Road in Villawood's industrial precinct, was contaminated from waste by-products during industrial activities between 1941 and 2000, Orica said in a statement.
The site was originally part of a World War Two weapons factory and later used by Orica - then known as ICI - to manufacture crop chemicals, including the now-banned insecticide DDT.
Remediation will take about 15 months and will be undertaken by a contractor.
DDT was manufactured at the site until 1961.
Orica says the site is no longer operational.
