Abstract

Soil contamination poses significant environmental and health risks, necessitating effective remediation strategies to restore soil quality and mitigate pollution. This paper reviews soil remediation techniques for contaminated lands, including physical, chemical, and biological methods. It examines soil excavation, soil washing, thermal desorption, soil vapor extraction, bioremediation, phytoremediation, and microbial remediation approaches, highlighting their principles, applications, and limitations. The paper also discusses factors influencing the selection and implementation of soil remediation technologies, such as site characteristics, contaminant type, and regulatory requirements. By employing appropriate remediation strategies, contaminated lands can be rehabilitated to support sustainable land use and ecosystem health.
