“…Chemicals produced by humans and changes in the environment that occur naturally in the soil are the main causes of soil pollution. Soil contamination typically results from the breakdown of subterranean storage linkages, the use of pesticides, the seepage of polluted surface water into subsurface strata, the disposal of oil and fuel, the leaching of wastes from landfills, or the direct release of industrial wastes into the soil . The environment is continuously exposed to a variety of hazardous chemical components from both natural and anthropogenic sources.…”

Soil pollution from various anthropogenic and natural activities poses a significant threat to the environment and human health. This study explored the sources and types of soil pollution and emphasized the need for innovative remediation approaches. Nanotechnology, including the use of nanoparticles, is a promising approach for remediation. Diverse types of nanomaterials, including nanobiosorbents and nanobiosurfactants, have shown great potential in soil remediation processes. Nanotechnology approaches to soil pollution remediation are multifaceted. Reduction reactions and immobilization techniques demonstrate the versatility of nanomaterials in mitigating soil pollution. Nanomicrobial-based bioremediation further enhances the efficiency of pollutant degradation in agricultural soils. A literature-based screening was conducted using different search engines, including PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, from 2010 to 2023. Keywords such as "soil pollution, nanotechnology, nanoremediation, heavy metal remediation, soil remediation" and combinations of these were used. The remediation of heavy metals using nanotechnology has demonstrated promising results and offers an eco-friendly and sustainable solution to address this critical issue. Nanobioremediation is a robust strategy for combatting organic contamination in soils, including pesticides and herbicides. The use of nanophytoremediation, in which nanomaterials assist plants in extracting and detoxifying pollutants, represents a cuttingedge and environmentally friendly approach for tackling soil pollution.

“…Because of the long storage time at the disposal stages, the accumulation of heavy metals is the primary source of environmental risk during the disposal stage. The geo-accumulation index method is appropriate for assessing heavy metal accumulation in soil [31,33]. As a result, this method can be used to assess the pollution risk to land caused by heavy metal accumulation.…”

A rising quantity of coal gasification slag (CGS) is produced annually. Land reclamation is a valuable method for efficiently utilizing coal gasification slag on a large scale. The ecological influence of CGS during land reclamation has not been widely investigated. This article covers the entire CGS use cycle for land reclamation, which includes generation, storage, and disposal. The environmental risk of using CGS for land reclamation was assessed by combining four environmental risk assessment methods. The results show no environmental risk for coal gasification coarse slag (CGCS) and coal gasification fine slag (CGFS) at the generation and storage stages. However, a concern remains regarding manganese leaching from CGCS during the storage stage. In the disposal phase, no environmental risk is present when up to 15% of CGCS and CGFS are applied to land reclamation projects. However, the environmental risk of disposing of 100% of CGS in a landfill cannot be disregarded. Conversely, the full-cycle use of CGS for land reclamation carries no environmental risk.

“…These studies enable project managers to develop a heightened sensitivity to the specific challenges and opportunities presented by the project's location. For instance, a project in a coastal area may require different anti-seepage measures compared to one situated inland [44][45][46][47]. Research such as that of Smith et al (2006) guides practitioners in navigating these nuances effectively;…”
