Soil pollution and technology for their restoration

The textbook is the basis of the course “Environmental Chemistry” read by the author for 20 years at the faculty of soil science and agroecology of St. Petersburg State Agrarian University. The book discusses the physico chemical properties of soils responsible for their pollution as a result of human activity, and mechanisms for pollution of ground and surface water. The distribution of pollutants between the soil fractions and their movement along the soil profile in soil water, as well as modern methods for assessing the probability of pollution in ground water, have been considered. The foundations of modern biological, physico chemical and thermal methods of soil restoration and soil water are presented.
A training manual is intended for students of biological soil, environmental, agricultural, agricultural, sanitary and construction areas of training and specialties of universities. The book will be useful to scientific and engineering to technical employees of chemical, mining, petrochemical, metallurgical, food and other industries, as well as employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations
