Soil pollution refers to the presence of toxic chemicals in soil. Compared with air and water remediations, soil remediation is technically more challenging due to its complex composition. The synergy between engineering and nanotechnology has resulted in rapid developments in soil remediation. Nanomaterials could offer new routes to address challenging and pressing issues facing soil pollution.
This book aims to explore how nanomaterials are used to cleanse polluted soils (organic compounds and heavy metal-contaminated soils) through various nanomaterials-based techniques (chemical/physical/biological techniques and their integrations).
- Highlights how nanotechnology is being used to more accurately measure soil pollution levels
- Discusses how the properties of nanomaterials are being used to make more efficient soil remediation techniques and products
- Assesses the practical and regulatory challenges of using different nanomaterial-based products for soil repair
