The valuation of contaminated properties has been the subject of increasing research and analysis in the appraisal industry. The growing list of contaminated properties, governmental demands for remediation, cost of cleanup, and market response have increased awareness of the problems associated with valuing affected properties. 

Contamination may affect  property  value  in  two  ways:    (1)  loss  of  value  due  to  costs  of remediation or containment and (2) loss of value due to stigma including loss of value due to proximity or location.  A property may be affected by either one or both influences.
