It is usually caused by improper disposal of waste, agricultural chemicals and industrial activity. Some of the prominent chemicals which cause soil pollution are petroleum hyrdocarbons, naphthalene, solvents, pesticides and heavy metals such as lead. The process of removing pollutants and contaminants from the soil is known as environmental remediation. There are various strategies which are used in remediation. Some of these are aeration of soils, bioremediation, extracting groundwater and then filtering the contaminants, phytoremediation and surfactant leaching. The topics covered in this extensive book deal with the core aspects of soil pollution as well as its monitoring and remediation. It will serve as a reference to a broad spectrum of readers. Coherent flow of topics, student-friendly language and extensive use of examples make this book an invaluable source of knowledge.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sebastian Brown\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1641726717\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781641726719\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Larsen and Keller Education\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 205\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Sebastian Brown","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43981798867199,"sku":"9781641726719","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_435365c3-5cb3-4766-a3aa-a153a845e842.jpg?v=1683257581","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/soil-pollution-sebastian-brown-9781641726719","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
