Synopsis (short abstract) The proceedings book of the Global Symposium on Soil Pollution (GSOP18) contains all papers presented both orally and in poster format during the symposium. The papers presented have provided sufficient scientific evidence to show that soil pollution is a global threat to the health of our soils, human health and the environment. Many studies are related to the sources of pollution in agricultural land and the effect of soil pollution on the production of healthy food and the economic and social consequences of soil pollution on food security. Different alternatives for monitoring and remedying soil pollution were presented. In addition, several papers presented legal approaches to preventing, controlling and remedying soil pollution in different regions of the world
