Abstract
Soil pollution is rising rapidly due to the existence of pollutants or natural alterations in the soil. It makes the drinking water ineffective and unusable by the human beings. The major cause of the soil contamination is agricultural activities, industrial activities, and inadmissible disposal of waste in the soil. The most common pollutants to accumulate in the soil are petroleum hydrocarbons, solvents, pesticides, lead, and other heavy metals. The important technology to remediate the pollutants or contaminants in the soil is bioremediation. The utilization of bioremediation in the contaminated soil is increasing rapidly due to the presence of toxic pollutants. It is the most advanced technologies which make use of organisms to deteriorate the harmful compounds in order to prevent the soil pollution. The aim of the chapter is to describe the available bioremediation technologies and their application in removing the pollutants exist in the soil.
