1. Basics of oxidation
There are two types of oxidation reaction: those involving electron transfer and those based on a radical mechanism.
1.1 Electron transfer reactions
Oxidation is a chemical reaction in which a reducing (or electron-donating) compound gives up electrons. Reduction is a gain of electrons by an oxidizing (or electron-accepting) compound.

Regulations
There are no specific regulations governing soil and aquifer treatment techniques. The decree of 17/07/09 on measures to prevent or limit the introduction of pollutants into groundwater specifies that the introduction of certain substances into the environment is prohibited. These substances are listed in appendices 1 and 2. However, a paragraph specifies that :
"The provisions of article R. 212-9-1...
