Abstract:
      The rapid growth of the world's population has led to three global crises:depletion of resources, environmental pollution and ecological destruction. Soil pollution is one of the major types of environmental pollution. It mainly includes the pollution of heavy metals, organic pollutants and radioactive pollutants. Combined pollution is a common form of soil pollution. In recent years, combined soil pollution has caused extensive concern of human health. It is one of the most important environmental problems to be solved in China. It is found that the remediation of combined soil pollution in China had mainly focused on a single biological, physical or chemical remediation method. Very limited information is available on the combined remediation technologies. The current review summarized the remediation research on the combined soil pollution in China, including heavy metals combined pollution, organic pollutants combined pollution, and heavy metals and organic pollutants combined pollution. Furthurmore, future research directions of combined soil pollution remediation are also proposed.
