Abstract
Background: Soil pollution reflects a significant environmental challenge that impacts human health, ecosystems, and agricultural productivity. Confronting this challenge requires a comprehensive strategy that integrates economic, environmental, and management perspectives. This paper examines soil pollution from economic, environmental, and management perspectives, emphasizing the challenges and procedures in implementing sustainable remediation strategies.
Objective: The aim of this study is to assess and identify economical, sustainable remediation techniques that reduce financial impacts and improve contaminated soil. Create management plans for soils that efficiently lower pollutant levels and integrate several remediation methods suited to particular contaminants and situations. This article provides a comprehensive examination of soil pollutants in addition to potential solutions, including Phytoremediation and Bioremediation.
Key Findings: Implementing cost-effective soil management strategies, treating wastewater, utilizing bio-based biodegradable mulching, and employing hydroxyapatite (Hap) or combining various environmentally friendly remediation techniques can effectively reduce agricultural risks and minimize the costs associated with the contaminated soil treatment process.
Conclusion: addressing soil pollution requires a comprehensive strategy that mixes economic feasibility, environmental responsibility, and efficient management practices. Strategies for sustainable remediation provide to reduce pollution while simultaneously fostering a healthier ecosystem and promoting financial sustainability. By emphasizing these viewpoints, parties involved can strive for a sustainable future.
