Soil remediation is a process aimed at restoring or improving the quality of contaminated soil, mitigating the environmental and health risks associated with pollutants. Various techniques are employed in soil remediation, ranging from physical methods such as excavation and soil vapor extraction to chemical methods like bioremediation and chemical oxidation. These approaches target pollutants like heavy metals, pesticides, and hydrocarbons, facilitating their removal or transformation into less harmful forms. Soil remediation efforts are essential in addressing industrial spills, agricultural runoff, and other sources of soil contamination. By restoring soil quality, this process not only protects ecosystems but also contributes to sustainable land use and safeguards human health.
