There is enough arsenic trioxide to kill every person on earth several times over

Thw plan entails using Thernosyphons to freeze the ground to entomb the contaminant (section 2). What I like about this is that it is passive, and it is self-healing. Any water that gets close improves the barrier.

The idea that they are relying on permafrost is somewhat scary.
