Abstract

Many soil and water ecosystems are in poor condition. Contamination, among the numerous anthropogenic pressures on soils, causes degradation that may completely limit provision of ecosystem services. Healthy soils and waters are fundamental to sustaining life on earth, so the development and application of sustainable and effective technologies for remediation of contaminated environments is a priority. Also important are robust contaminated site risk assessment and management processes, and the application of high-resolution techniques for pollutant characterization. In addition, the socio-economic burden of contamination presents another highly complex challenge that requires attention. This special series features selected works from REMTECH Europe 2023, including presentations regarding difficult to treat contaminants such as pesticides and perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), and the application of tools for rapid assessment of methane emissions from contaminated soils (e.g. tunable diode laser adsorption spectroscopy mounted on drones). The Series also includes a range of advanced approaches for in situ site remediation and practical site management, together with a demonstration of how soil degradation can reduce economic land value. Overall, advanced techniques for in situ remediation together with practical management of contaminated sites were presented in a hybrid attendance event that included combined face to face and online engagement participation at RemTech Europe. This fundamental role of RemTech Europe in knowledge exchange and sharing is crucial for promoting suitable and effective methodologies for the assessment and remediation of contaminated sites.

先进的土壤和水修复方法：介绍RemTech欧洲2023特别系列。

许多水土生态系统状况不佳。在对土壤的众多人为压力中，污染导致退化，可能完全限制生态系统服务的提供。健康的土壤和水是维持地球生命的基础，因此开发和应用可持续和有效的技术来修复受污染的环境是一个优先事项。同样重要的是健全的污染场地风险评估和管理过程，以及高分辨率污染物表征技术的应用。此外，污染的社会经济负担是另一个需要注意的高度复杂的挑战。本系列特别介绍了来自REMTECH Europe 2023的精选作品，包括关于难以处理的污染物（如农药和全氟烷基和多氟烷基物质（PFAS））的介绍，以及用于快速评估受污染土壤甲烷排放的工具的应用（例如安装在无人机上的可调谐二极管激光吸附光谱）。该系列还包括一系列现场修复和实际现场管理的先进方法，以及土壤退化如何降低经济土地价值的示范。总体而言，现场修复的先进技术以及污染场地的实际管理在RemTech Europe的混合出席活动中进行了介绍，包括面对面和在线参与。欧洲RemTech在知识交流和分享方面的这种基本作用对于促进评估和修复受污染场地的适当和有效方法至关重要。

期刊介绍： Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management (IEAM) publishes the science underpinning environmental decision making and problem solving. Papers submitted to IEAM must link science and technical innovations to vexing regional or global environmental issues in one or more of the following core areas: Science-informed regulation, policy, and decision making Health and ecological risk and impact assessment Restoration and management of damaged ecosystems Sustaining ecosystems Managing large-scale environmental change Papers published in these broad fields of study are connected by an array of interdisciplinary engineering, management, and scientific themes, which collectively reflect the interconnectedness of the scientific, social, and environmental challenges facing our modern global society: Methods for environmental quality assessment; forecasting across a number of ecosystem uses and challenges (systems-based, cost-benefit, ecosystem services, etc.); measuring or predicting ecosystem change and adaptation Approaches that connect policy and management tools; harmonize national and international environmental regulation; merge human well-being with ecological management; develop and sustain the function of ecosystems; conceptualize, model and apply concepts of spatial and regional sustainability Assessment and management frameworks that incorporate conservation, life cycle, restoration, and sustainability; considerations for climate-induced adaptation, change and consequences, and vulnerability Environmental management applications using risk-based approaches; considerations for protecting and fostering biodiversity, as well as enhancement or protection of ecosystem services and resiliency.
