Soil Pollution: From Monitoring to Remediation, Second Edition provides a comprehensive overview of the causes of soil pollution, distribution, transport and fate of pollutants in soil, 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 main causes of soil pollution are associated with human activities, resulting in the accumulation of contaminants in soils that may reach levels of concern. Soil pollutants include a wide variety of contaminants (organic and inorganic chemicals, nanoparticles, micro(nano)plastics), which can be derived of anthropogenic related activities, or naturally occurring in soil. Soil quality monitoring may be a hard task due to the lack of well stated monitoring variables and indicators. Soil Pollution, 2e expands and updates our current knowledge in this space 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 inf information on organic, inorganic and nanoparticle pollutants in soil and methodologies for their monitoring, and data reporting in order to gain adequate insights of pollution problems caused by these pollutants.
