Soil pollution remediation

Soil remediation involves the management of contaminants at the site to avoid damages to human health or the environment. It involves the identification of soils requiring remediation, the setting of remedial objectives according to the future land use, the selection and implementation of the remedial strategy and the monitoring of the result. Monitoring is often performed by measuring contaminant concentrations. However, biological tools can also be used. This chapter describes a pool of available technologies for soil remediation, their main applications, advantages and disadvantages, and a set of biological tools to evaluate the ecotoxicological state of the remediated soil.
