Special Issue on Soil Pollution Assessment and Sustainable Remediation Strategies

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), which can be derived from anthropogenic related activities, or naturally occurring in soil. The goal of this special issue is to provide a platform for scientists and academicians all over the world to promote, share, and discuss various new issues and developments in the area of Soil Pollution Assessment and Sustainable Remediation Strategies.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring Soil Pollution Assessment and Sustainable Remediation Strategies. In this special issue, potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Main causes of soil pollution
• Devastating effects of soil pollution
• Effects of deteriorating air quality
• Possible solutions to soil pollution
• Effects on human beings
• Effects on plants and animals
• Effects on the ecosystem
• Soil remediation strategies based on risk assessment approach
• Soil remediation and sustainable development

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly notice that the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title is supposed to be specified and the research field “Special Issue - Soil Pollution Assessment and Sustainable Remediation Strategies” should be chosen during your submission.

According to the following timetable:
