Soil pollution and phytoremediation 

 

 

Some plants can uptake, remove and stabilize contaminants from the soil, through different mechanisms.

Impacts of soil pollution on key soil functions

Soil pollution causes a chain of degradation processes in soil, jeopardizing its ability to provide ecosystem services.

Pollution-induced changes in the functioning of soil ecosystems

Mobile soil fauna often uses an avoidance strategy, reducing the first steps of litter decomposition in heavily polluted soils. 

Economic losses due to soil pollution

Soil pollution entails direct remediation and management costs ranging from thousands to billions of dollars per year, depending on the extent and type of contaminants. 

Soil pollution jeopardizes the achievement of most of the SDGs

The prevention, control, and remediation of soil pollution are fundamental if we want to implement the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

Impact of soil contaminants on human health

Contaminants in soil have widespread effects on organs and systems, producing a wide variety of health outcomes, from acute to chronic diseases, leading to severe development issues, changes in bodily functions, and premature death.

Contaminants tranfer to the food chain

Contaminated plants and soil organisms lead to potentially hazardous accumulations in animals higher in the food web such as grazing animals, birds and ultimately transferred to humans.

Thematic factsheets

Soils store and filter water
Improving food security and our resilience to floods and droughts

Functional soils play a key role in the supply of clean water and resilience to floods and droughts. Water infiltration through soil traps pollutants and prevents them from leaching into the groundwater. Moreover, the soil captures and stores water, making it available for absorption by crops, and thus minimizing surface evaporation and maximizing water use efficiency and productivity
