Session Description: Toxic xenobiotics have increasingly accumulated in the soil system due to intensifying agricultural, industrial, and commercial activities. Soil pollution is a growing global concern, posing significant threats to food security, ecological sustainability, and human health. This session reflects the great challenges we all face in protecting our environment from contamination by toxic pollutants, and will offer an excellent platform for scientists, professionals, and policymakers across multiple disciplines to present the state-of-art research findings, exchange ideas, and discuss how the knowledge can be used to facilitate the soil pollution control and remediation and to improve soil and human health.
