Abstract/Description: | Soil and agricultural systems play a vital role in the global environment and the well-being of humanity. They provide essential goods and services that are crucial for sustainable development and benefit people all around the world. However, soil contamination has emerged as a major environmental hazard, posing significant risks to both environmental health and safety (Dash et al. 2016; Bera et al. 2022). In the twenty-first century, the key challenge we face is to reduce the contaminant load in soil and bring it below permissible levels. Soil contamination is not confined to the local areas where it occurs; rather, it can spread to other regions due to the easy transportation of pollutants. This poses a serious threat as it leads to contamination not only of the immediate surroundings but also affects distant areas (Chakraborty et al. 2021). The consequences of soil contamination are far-reaching, impacting not only the land itself but also affecting aquatic systems like surface water and groundwater (Adhikary et al. 2015). Such contamination poses substantial risks to natural ecosystems, disrupting their delicate balance and functioning. Addressing soil contamination is crucial for safeguarding our environment and ensuring a sustainable future. It requires concerted efforts and innovative strategies to mitigate pollution sources and remediate already contaminated sites (Purakayastha et al. 2008). By taking action to reduce soil contamination, we can protect our ecosystems, preserve the quality of our natural resources, and secure the well-being of present and future generations. |
