Description : The southern bank of the river Seine, in the urban area of Rouen, was an important industrial suburb in the 19th century and during the first half of the 20th century up to the urban rehabilitation which began around the seventies. The main industries were foundries and mechanical engineering plants, and later, in the harbour districts, oil factories and naphtha refineries. During the "reconstruction" period, after the second world war, and at the time of the "rehabilitation" , a lot of residential compounds, schools and playgrounds have been established, regardless of the nature of the soils.
A great amount of the ancient industries were replaced by other plants, or by derelict land; so the sequence of the different industrial uses and the nature of the chemical products involved, which have been stored or rejected cannot be easily defined.
The studied area extends on three administrative districts : the left bank of Rouen city area, to the north, and two suburban districts, respectively Petit-Quevilly, to the west, and Sotteville, to the east.
