Abstract  

Soil – ‘the soul of infinite lives’ is the ultimate medium for plant growth. It not only supports the plant growth but also provides the optimum nutrients and water required by plants and also regulates the aeration and temperature of it. In brief it is the storehouse of nutrients. It is said that –‘ if you want to have food, conserve the soil’—but in recent days due to many reasons, mostly of anthropogenic activities such as urbanization, removal of trees(deforestation), mining and the overuse of nutrients are seemed to be the reasons of soil degradation. Soil pollution is one of the type of such soil degradation only. Soil pollution not only reduces the soil fertility or ultimate production of crops, but it is also hazardous to human health. In this article I have tried to show the different remediation of such soil pollution that the scientists have already worked on and also have tried to drag the reader’s attention to some future aspects including the use of artificial intelligence.
