Novel Remediation Strategies for Soil Pollution

Dear Colleagues,

‌Soil pollution has become a major environmental issue of global concern, especially the soil pollution caused by industrial and mining activities, which seriously endangers human health and our ecological environment. Governments around the world attach great importance to the prevention and control of soil pollution. However, soil pollution is covert, heterogeneous, and accumulative. Thus, we are facing enormous challenges regarding the investigation and control of pollution. Conventional remediation and control techniques are costly and energy-intensive. This Special Issue will welcome papers related to innovative soil investigation, risk assessment, and remediation technologies. Review paper, original laboratory or field experimental research papers are all welcome. However, studies that focus on both the mechanisms and practical applications of technologies will be preferred. The purpose of this Special Issue is to enhance peer communication, improve efficiency, and reduce the cost of remediation technology. Overall, our goal is to promote the continuous progress of soil remediation and control.
