Summary
Details

This volume offers a comprehensive exploration of soil contamination by hazardous waste, its far-reaching consequences on ecosystems, food safety, and human health, and the methodologies available for their mitigation. Bridging foundational science with emerging technologies, the book synthesizes current research and case studies on the distribution, mobility, and toxicity of metals and metalloids in contaminated environments.

Topics include advanced remediation strategies, the physical and chemical impacts of waste on soil health, and the bioaccumulation of contaminants in crops. Special attention is given to military-sourced pollutants and their environmental legacy, as well as the role of bioremediation in managing energetic compounds like RDX. Through an integrated approach, the book investigates how hazardous substances interfere with nutrient uptake in plants, posing threats to food security and public health.

By combining theoretical insights with applied examples, the book serves as a critical reference for academic researchers, environmental scientists, and professionals in waste management and environmental remediation. It is also highly suitable for graduate and advanced undergraduate students specializing in soil science, environmental toxicology, agricultural sustainability, and public health.
