1. Soil remediation: mechanisms involved
1.1 Removal of various pollutants by soil
The infiltration of domestic wastewater through an unsaturated porous medium—such as most soils—reduces pollution through physical and biological mechanisms:
suspended solids (SS) by filtration;
soluble organic matter (carbon and nitrogen) through biological oxidation, adsorption, ion exchange, and precipitation;
pathogenic microorganisms through complex processes of binding, filtration, inactivation, and predation
