Author(s): Nida Tabassum Khan*, Namra Jameel and Maham Jamil Khan

Soil and sediment remediation has been achieved by techniques including mechanical, biological and thermal processes and is still practiced today. However interest on the use of intrinsic methods for soil and sediment remediation is currently gaining momentum with the aim to minimize the adverse effects of soil contaminants. Scientific research is under progress to devise novel remediation methods known as technical soil protection methods to minimize or completely eliminate soil pollutants from the environment.
