This book uses a green criminology lens to analyze strategies to minimize and propose alternatives on the damage caused to humans and environmental health by contaminated soils in Mexico, by recognizing that the effective application of laws is crucial for the conservation of soils. In this sense, from the perspective of contaminated soils, the compilation of data and experiences of the growing concern about the degradation of soils contaminated with hydrocarbons, heavy metals, pesticides and emerging contaminants (organic compounds, hormones and microplastics) is presented. In addition, from environmental history, the authors provide an understanding of the ontological, epistemological and methodological possibilities when assessing the relationship between the natural environment and green criminology. It is explained how the green cultural behavior of communities is directed in the face of soil contamination and environmental liabilities from the experiences of the subjects with respect to questioning the interaction of ethics and environmental responsibility. Data is presented on the consequences of soil contamination on the loss of biodiversity and the intake and bioaccumulation of pollutants in living beings. Finally, the authors discuss the deficiencies related to inspection and surveillance on issues of soil contamination, along with institutional proposals for remediation. The book seeks to position these types of issues, still scarcely discussed in Mexico, for researchers, academics, postgraduate students, decision makers and companies dedicated to the remediation and restoration of contaminated soils through sustainable management and recovery plans.
