Abstract
The present chapter elucidates progressions in the surveillance of soil pollution, with a specific emphasis on integrated systems and sensor technologies. Future trends (e.g., enhanced selectivity, regulatory adoption), deployment platforms (field-deployable, wireless networks), and sensor types (electrochemical, optical, and biosensors) are discussed. Increasing sensitivity and specificity, facilitating on-site, real-time analysis, and integrating sensing with remediation strategies are priorities. The discourse highlights the revolutionary capacity that soil pollution sensors possess to propel environmental monitoring and management forward. Collaboration among stakeholders is critical for successfully implementing sensor-based approaches and driving innovation.
