Abstract

● It is crucial to comprehensively summarize remediation technologies and identify future development directions.

● This review systematically summarizes various soil remediation and improvement technologies, incorporating multiple disciplines including physics, chemistry and biology, as well as their interdisciplinary intersections.

● A solid foundation is given for the healthy development of soil.

Metal(loid) pollution has emerged as a pressing environmental issue in agriculture, garnering extensive public attention. Metal(loid)s are potentially toxic substances that infiltrate the soil through diverse pathways, leading to food chain contamination via plant uptake and subsequent animal exposure. This poses a serious threat to environmental quality, food security, and human health. Hence, the remediation of metal(loid)-contaminated agricultural soil is an urgent concern demanding immediate attention. Presently, the majority of research papers concentrate on established, isolated remediation technologies, often overlooking comprehensive field management approaches. It is imperative to provide a comprehensive summary of remediation technologies and identify future development directions. This review aims to comprehensively summarize a range of soil remediation and enhancement technologies, incorporating insights from multiple disciplines including physics, chemistry, biology, and their interdisciplinary intersections. The review examines the mechanisms of action, suitable scenarios, advantages, disadvantages, and benefits associated with each remediation technology. Particularly relevant is the examination of metal(loid) sources, as well as the mechanisms behind both established and innovative, efficient remediation and enhancement technologies. Additionally, the future evolution of remediation technologies are considered with the aim of offering a scientific research foundation and inspiration to fellow researchers. This is intended to facilitate the advancement of remediation technologies and establish a robust foundation for sustainable development of soil.

Fig.1 Sources of metal(loid).

Fig.2 Average soil metal(loid) concentration (mg·kg^–1).Statistical data of metal(loid) content in farmland soils in China were searched using keywords for metal(loid) in the specific city and county. For the same region, the most literature was used. Excluding research on metal(loid) in non farmland soils such as urban industrial land, atmospheric dust, and marine sediments, a total of 603 publications since 2002 were selected, including the measured data of metal(loid) in 614 typical farmland sample points. Due to the limited literature, the statistical area does not include the Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, and Nanhai Zhudao (South China Sea Islands).
