Description

An alteration in the natural soil environment, which is caused by the presence of xenobiotic chemicals or other factors, is known as soil pollution. The most common reasons for the contamination and degradation of soil are improper disposal of waste, use of agrochemicals, industrial activity, oil spills, intensive farming, acid rain, etc. Changes in plant metabolism, reduction in crop yields, soil erosion, alteration in the metabolism of microorganisms residing in a soil environment, etc. are some of the primary impacts of soil pollution. Bioremediation, mycoremediation, aeration and phytoremediation are some of the chief remediation strategies that can be used as clean-up interventions. This book provides significant information to help develop a good understanding of soil pollution and its impacts. It includes some of the vital pieces of work being conducted across the world, on various topics related to mitigation solutions and strategies. It will serve as a valuable source of reference for graduate and postgraduate students, as well as experts.
