Soil Pollution: CRISIS AND CONTROL, Volume-I

Bys: Mishra, Rajesh Kuamr, Mishra, Divyansh, Agarwal, Rekha

Soil Pollution: Crisis and Control examines soil pollution as a largely invisible but increasingly important environmental crisis affecting ecosystems, agriculture, food security, biodiversity, human health, and sustainable development. The book explores major sources and classes of contaminants, including heavy metals, pesticides, petroleum compounds, industrial chemicals, sewage-derived pollutants, plastics, microplastics, mining wastes, and e-waste. It explains contaminant pathways, sampling and laboratory analysis, environmental indices, risk assessment, and the persistent monitoring gap. Particular attention is given to artificial intelligence, remote sensing, digital soil mapping, precision agriculture, and predictive decision-support systems for large-scale soil assessment. The book critically examines physical and chemical remediation, bioremediation, phytoremediation, nanoremediation, and integrated technologies, emphasizing site-specific solutions and long-term effectiveness. International and national governance frameworks are discussed alongside case studies from China, India, the United States, Nigeria, and other regions.
