Summarize the environmental chemistry, toxicological risks, and anthropogenic sources of mercury in soil, while reviewing recent advances in soil remediation technologies.
Conducted a systematic review of literature detailing mercury chemistry, toxicity profiles, and anthropogenic pathways of soil contamination.
Categorized and analyzed physical, chemical, and biological soil remediation techniques, with specific focus on six prominent technologies.
Identified industrialization, urbanization, and mercury mining operations as the predominant anthropogenic sources of soil contamination alongside baseline natural emissions.
Classified leading remediation technologies into six operational categories: thermal desorption, electrokinetic extraction, soil washing, chemical stabilization, phytoremediation, and microbial technology.
