Soil Pollution

The textbook "Soil Pollution" offers a comprehensive analysis of the processes that influence the spread of pollutants in the soil. It highlights how pollutants from human activities, particularly in agriculture and industry, enter the soil and move through complex physical, chemical, and biological transformations. The authors explain the transport mechanisms within the water-air-soil system and the molecular properties of the pollutants that determine their behavior in the soil. The book is aimed at professionals dealing with soil pollution and remediation, as well as students who wish to research in this field. It provides fundamental information about the characteristics of soil contaminants and addresses the partitioning of pollutants between the various phases of the soil. The topics of retention, transformation, and transport of pollutants are also discussed in detail.
