The aim of this work is to identify the main sources of contamination of soils, their effects on organisms also presenting alternatives for remediation and decontamination of these contaminated environments. The soils have in their composition organisms that are naturally present, as well as the presence of contaminants in increasing proportion when compared to the world industrialization and modernization of agriculture; therefore, increase in evolution brings with it a bigger totality of compounds, resulting in worrying rates in the soils of Brazil, such as trace elements (Cadmium, Lead, Arsenic, Mercury, Copper) and compounds organic (pesticides) and inorganic (waste fossil fuels). In many instances, this contamination can decimate forms of life in the soil. With that, remediation and decontamination of these soils becomes a fundamental need for the current economic models, making bioremediation and phytoremediation techniques consist in a feasible alternative for remediation and decontamination of soil, presenting performances satisfactory in removal and stabilization of contaminants.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
