Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Since the twentieth century, large amounts of toxic organic and inorganic pollutants have been released into the pedosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere from irrational anthropogenic socioeconomic activities, resulting in significant negative hazards to ecological environment and public health. Particularly, a large amount of pollutants have been emitted into soil and water, causing significant threats to food and water supply safety. Nevertheless, pollutants’ source apportionment and the migration and transformation of contaminants in soil and water are not well understood, and safe utilization of the polluted soil and water requires proper remediation technology.

At present, the remediation of polluted soil and water is dependent on the degree of environmental risk. The most important issue linked to carrying out environmental remediation is the clarification of the source apportionment and migration routes of pollutants. Through various physical, chemical, and biological remediation technologies, polluted soil and water can be reused as agricultural land, construction land, domestic water, industrial water, etc. Meanwhile, the quality transformation of soil and water before and after remediation and their microbiological mechanism have received little attention. Therefore, novel remediation technologies and methods of reusing natural resources are urgently needed.

This Topic on “Soil and Water Pollution Process and Remediation Technologies, 2nd Volume” focuses on heavy metals, excess nutrient elements, pesticides, antibiotics, environmental hormones, antibiotics resistance genes, pathogens, microplastics, etc. We are pleased to invite you to contribute a manuscript to this Topic in the Journals Sustainability, Agronomy, Water, Microorganisms, Environments, and Pollutants. Contributors are welcome to submit reviews and original research articles, including but not limited to the following topics:

• Source apportionment, pollution processes, migration, transformation, and environmental risks of inorganic and organic pollutants in soil and water;
• Remediation technologies of polluted soil and water;
• Environmental quality transformation and microbiological mechanisms in polluted soil and water.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.
