Soil Pollution: From Monitoring to Remediation, Second Edition provides a comprehensive overview of the causes of soil pollution, distribution, transport, and fate of pollutants and transformation of pollutants in soil and metabolite accumulation. Soil pollution has increased over the last decades and may pose a risk for human and ecological health. The book expands and updates on current knowledge with an increased focus on PFAs and micronanplastics. The new edition also includes a new chapter on the One Health initiative.In this book, researchers and students in soil science will find appropriate and comprehensive information on organic, inorganic, and nanoparticle pollutants in soil, methodologies for their monitoring, and data reporting processes in order to gain adequate insights of pollution problems caused by these pollutants.
- Provides concise and comprehensive coverage of soil pollution related issues, along with techniques for pollutants' monitoring, protection, and remediation
- Presents real examples to illustrate cases of soil pollution, and of techniques used for monitoring the pollutants
- Includes discussions on the ecotoxicological and human effects of soil pollution

Pollutants Transformation and Metabolite Accumulation in Soils5. Organic Pollutants in Soils Organic (carbon based) pollutants include persistent organic pollutants, pesticides, PFAS, and those that were once released into air or water will end up soils6. Inorganic Pollutants in Soils Waste disposal practices have led to significant build up in soils of a wide range of inorganic pollutants such as: arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, mercury, lead, selenium, and zinc7.
