About this Topic:
Soil pollution can be defined as the degradation of its quality mainly generated by presence of chemical substances. The increase in the concentration of chemical compounds causes harmful changes and reduces their potential use, by both the human activity and nature. These chemicals, such as pesticides, metals, or metalloids, have been traditionally divided according to their sources as natural and anthropogenic. Currently, soils can be also affected by less known emerging contaminants including nanoparticles, drugs or microplastics.
Soil is a non-renewable resource and therefore its loss or degradation is hardly reversible within a short time horizon. Therefore, the environmental impact and risk assessment must be approached from the scientific point of view, giving technologically viable solutions to avoid or minimize environmental degradation. It is essential to developed and improve remediation tools and techniques that render smaller environmental footprint and allow simultaneously recover damaged areas maximizing the social and economic benefits. Thus, new techniques of soil remediation as phytoremediation or bioremediation should be considered in the restoration processes.
In this special issue we will address the problematic related to the soil pollution and its possible sustainable remediation.

Soil Pollution Education: A Broad View of Knowledge on Soil Pollution and Educational Activities for Undergraduate StudentsAbstract Soil pollution is a major challenge for ensuring a healthy environment and for human health. One of the critical points in soil pollution policy is the education and public awareness of the problem caused by soil pollution. Education influences decision-making on soil and water care. It is crucial to spread knowledge to undergraduate and gradu [...] |

Rolf Teschke studied Medicine in Munich and Marburg, where he finished his MD thesis before starting a residency at the Department of Pathology, University of Marburg. Subsequently and with a fellowship of the Deutsche Forschungsgmeinschaft, he worked at the Bronx VA Hospital/Mount Sinai Hospital in New York during 1972–1975 together with Professor Charles S. Lieber and successfully isolated MEOS and expanded its characterization. Back in Germany, he was at the Heinrich-Heine University in Düsseldorf with a focus on alcoholic liver disease, biochemical drug studies, and clinical intoxications by halogenated aliphatic hydrocarbons, where he became a Professor of Medicine. In 1987, he was offered a chief position and appointed as Director of the Medical Department II, City Hospital Hanau, Teaching Hospital of the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University Frankfurt/Main. His clinical and research interests are on liver injury by drugs and herbs including causality assessment by RUCAM in close association with Dr. Gaby Danan in Paris. A perfect cooperation exists also with Professor Tran Dang Xuan of the University of Hiroshima, Japan. Finally, he is the author of more than 275 publications including books and book chapters, and he is editor in chief of scientific journals and member of editorial boards.
