Soil and Groundwater: Pollution and In-situ Remediation

Dear Colleagues,

Contamination of soils and groundwater at industrial sites is an issue of global concern and is increasing rapidly in developing countries. On the other hand, developing sustainable remediation technologies remains a huge challenge in developed nations. Extensive research has been done to explore mechanisms of soil and groundwater contamination and develop strategies and technologies for site remediation. There is a growing realization that in situ remediation has merits of lower impact and improved sustainability. The application of in situ remediation in practice has increased significantly in recent years. This Special Issue is focused on pollution and in situ remediation of soil and groundwater at industrial sites. We welcome papers addressing topics such as contaminated site characterization, engineering control technologies, mechanisms of remediation, innovative remediation technologies, and integrated remediation approaches. Papers presenting critical discussions of complex case studies of site remediation are also welcome.
