Enhancement of industrial growth and urbanization, soil contamination is increasingly prominent. Therefore, it’s important to examine possible adverse effects of industrial waste. Samples were found to be polluted with several heavy-metals and pesticides. Gas chromatographic results showed occurrence of high-level of organochlorine and organophosphate pesticides. Genotoxicity of soil extracts was assessed using environmental-risk assessment models. Soil samples were extracted in hexane and dichloromethane solvents and were evaluated for genotoxic potential by prokaryotic (Ames test, plasmid nicking assay and E. coli K-12 DNA repair defective mutants) and eukaryotic (Allium cepa root chromosomal aberration and Vigna radiata seed-germination test) bioassays. Strain TA98 was found most susceptible among soil extracts. Hexane soil extract of wastewater irrigation was determined more mutagenic than DCM samples in terms of mutagenic index, mutagenic potential and induction factor for Ames strains. The damage in DNA repair defective mutants of hexane extracts were found higher compared to DCM extracts at dose of 20 μl/ml of culture. Survival in polA, lexA and recA mutants were 39%, 47% and 55% while treated with hexane extract. Allium cepa test, mitotic index was decreased in dose-dependent way and various kinds of chromosomal aberrations were found. Vigna radiata seeds germination and other parameters were also affected when treated with contaminated soil. Oxidative stress in V. radiata roots were also showed under CLS microscope. Genotoxicity of contaminated soil extract was also confirmed by plasmid nicking test. Our study provides possible explanation for the assessment of potential health and environmental hazards of the industrial region.

“…The umbrella term “pesticides” includes herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, molluscicides, bactericides and rodenticides (Mojiri et al, 2020). In Europe, total annual pesticide sales during the period 2011 to 2016 rose from 386,400 to 439,400 tonnes of active ingredients, with France, Spain, Italy and Germany collectively accounting for 80% of the European market (Peña, 2020). In line with increases in global population, the use of pesticides in agriculture has increased to improve crop yields and production rates (Gavrilescu, 2005; Morillo & Villaverde, 2017).…”

Pesticides are widely employed as a cost‐effective means of reducing the impacts of undesirable plants and animals. The aim of this paper is to develop a risk ranking of transmission of key pesticides through soil to waterways, taking into account physico‐chemical properties of the pesticides (soil half‐life and water solubility), soil permeability, and the relationship between adsorption of pesticides and soil texture. This may be used as a screening tool for land managers, as it allows assessment of the potential transmission risks associated with the use of specified pesticides across a spectrum of soil textures. The twenty‐eight pesticides examined were differentiated into three groups: herbicides, fungicides and insecticides. The highest risk of pesticide transmission through soils to waterways is associated with soils containing <20% clay or >45% sand. In a small number of cases, the resulting transmission risk is not influenced by soil texture alone. For example, for Phenmedipham, the transmission risk is higher for clay soils than for silt loam. The data generated in this paper may also be used in the identification of critical area sources, which have a high likelihood of pesticide transmission to waterways. Furthermore, they have the potential to be applied to GIS mapping, where the potential transmission risk values of the pesticides can be layered directly onto various soil textures.

“…There are two major causes of soil salinity, that is human‐made (secondary salinization) and natural (primary salinization). Utilization of low‐quality water for crop irrigation because of prolonged dry spells in conjunction with heavy chemical fertilizers is the principal human‐made exercise bringing about soil salinization (Pena et al, 2020). The human‐made salinization conditions are aggravated under poor drainage settings (Manasa et al, 2020).…”

Soil is a vital resource for feeding the burgeoning global population, and it is also essential for realizing most of the ‘United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)’. For example, it is vital to realizing the ‘Zero hunger (SDG2), Good health and well‐being (SDG3), Clean water and sanitation (SDG6), and Life on land (SDG15)’. Excess salts present in the soil make it saline, and it poses a significant threat to agricultural production and environmental health. Soil salinity is an extensive problem and spreads over one billion hectares extended over 100 countries. This paper presents a comprehensive review of global soil salinity management through the applications of remote sensing and GIS. All possible sources of relevant and current literature were accessed and more than 260 publications were collected and carefully analysed, for this review. The rationale and severity of the salinity problem are provided. The impact of salinity on plant yield and the effect of climate change on soil salinity are detailed. The salinity indicators and salinity monitoring and mapping are provided, and the global cases of soil salinity management through remote sensing and GIS applications under different agro‐hydro‐climatic environments are discussed, followed by a summary of conclusions and challenges along with future research directions. The analysis of past investigations showed that remote sensing strategy might be a practical approach to adequately assess plant response such as evapotranspiration under diverse salinity environments, yet it additionally has various difficulties. The lower spatial and temporal resolution of imagery may reason errors because of subpixel heterogeneity. However, with the improvement of the better‐resolution thermal infrared remote method, there is the possibility to spot spatial variations at a smaller scale.
