Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the rapid development of industry and agriculture, a large amount of solid waste, excessive pesticides, heavy metals, and other toxic substances have entered the soil, causing huge pollution. With the continuous increase in the area of contaminated soil, which has caused great adverse effects on human production and life, soil pollution remediation has become an area of work that must be strengthened. The purpose of this Special Issue (VSI) is to publish state-of-the-art research that gathers current knowledge and pressing questions about soil pollution and soil remediation. This Special Issue will focus on the environmental behavior of soil contaminants, soil contaminant detection, soil remediation, and soil ecology. The topics for the VSI include, but are not limited to:
- the migration and transformation of pollutants, especially new, persistent, organic pollutants such as microplastics, antibiotics, PAHs, PFOA, etc. in the soil or soil-groundwater;
- soil contaminant detection;
- new and modified soil remediation materials (biochar) and soil remediation technologies;
- the ecotoxicology of pollutants on soil;
- soil microorganisms.
