Remediation of Heavy Metals Polluted Soils in Indonesia
Summary
This chapter reviews remediation approaches for heavy metal-polluted soils in Indonesia, examining the landscape of contamination sources and the effectiveness of available treatment technologies. The review contributes to a broader edited volume on environmental challenges facing Indonesia's post-pandemic recovery, situating heavy metal soil pollution within the country's wider environmental management priorities.
COVID-19 has disrupted all aspects of human life. To mitigate the impact of the pandemic, several efforts have been taken, including by Indonesian scholars abroad. This book entitled Indonesia Post-Pandemic Outlook: Environment and Technology Role for Indonesia Development explores environment and technology issues and topics related to the COVID-19 pandemic and discusses post-pandemic recovery efforts in Indonesia. Comprising of 19 chapters, this book is divided into four sections. The first section, disaster and greening management development, discusses insights for a better solution in disaster prevention and development of greening management. Second, waste and pollution management development, explores options in development of waste and pollution management such as potentials uses of membrane technology, remediation of textile dyes, biochar industry, and also discussion on persistent organic pollution and microplastics. Third, food defense and security development, explores the potentials of food security and management in utilizing the potential of coastal sand marginal land resources, IoT and smart packaging, and smart food supply chain. The last part, human resource and public service development, discuses developments on management of education system, public transportation, e-government, and health information system. We hope that this book can be a valuable reference for stakeholders, policymakers, as well as society to recover from the pandemic crisis and find better solutions to benefit future generations.

A Review on Remediation Technology and the Remediation Evaluation of Heavy Metal-Contaminated Soils
This review surveys the main approaches to cleaning up heavy metal contamination in soils, including physical, chemical, biological, and combined methods, discussing the strengths and limitations of each. Researchers note that standards and evaluation methods for determining when soil has been adequately remediated are still not well established. The study calls for more scientific research into post-remediation assessment to ensure cleanup efforts are truly effective.
