Advances in Remediation of Contaminated Sites: 3rd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

With the development of the social economy, the population has increased sharply, and the land area used for production and in people’s lives has also gradually increased. To meet the production and development needs of society, land resources have simultaneously been damaged and polluted due to human activity. Indeed, most site contaminations result from past and present human activities. Given that land resources are non-renewable, the development of efficient land restoration and improvement approaches is an important aspect of achieving the sustainable development of human society.

The remediation of contaminated sites has been one of the most rapidly developing environmental research subjects. The process of remediation is a site-specific phased approach comprising site characterization, risk assessment, and the selection and application of remediation technology. Site remediation technology has developed rapidly in recent years, and has brought hope for environmental remediation. However, it has also encountered bottlenecks, and new breakthroughs are urgently required.

With the success of Volumes I (see details in website: www.mdpi.com/si/92730) and II  (see details on the website: www.mdpi.com/si/146340) of the Special Issue “Advances in Remediation of Contaminated Sites”, we have decided to continue organizing the Special Issue on this subject and launch a third volume, “Advances in Remediation of Contaminated Sites: 3rd Edition”. Here, we aim to gather the latest advancements in the remediation of contaminated sites to help overcome bottlenecks in the development of site remediation technology. We invite researchers to contribute original research papers, review articles, and communications on related subjects to this Special Issue. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Survey and assessment of contaminated sites;
• Environmental processes and effects of pollutants;
• Remediation technology and its application in contaminated sites;
• Remediation strategy and management in contaminated sites.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.
