This book reviews the latest advances in soil remediation and is an authoritative account of the environmental chemistry, microbiology, ecotoxicology, and regulation policies of soil pollution. The book also discusses possible pathways for innovation, by incorporating state-of-the-art knowledge on sustainability, nature-based solutions, and socio-economical aspects. Divided into four parts, the book opens with an overview of the legal context and policy economy of soil pollution and remediation. The management of contaminated soils has a high cost and, although much of this cost is borne by companies, there is also high public spending. The strategic value of soil, the extensive costs associated with the remediation of many polluted sites throughout the World, and the current crisis demand for new solutions to soil remediation that are addressed in the following parts of the book. In this book, readers will find a comprehensive description of several remediation strategies by different pollution sources, nature-based solutions, and physicochemical methods for the remediation of contaminated soils. Particular attention is given to contaminated soils from industrial activities, urban settings, mining, and military activities. In the final chapter of the book, the editors present a perspective of the field, research trends and needs. Given its breadth, this book appeals to regulators, industrial scientists, and scholars alike.
