“…Two major nuclear power plant accidents occurred in Fukushima and Chernobyl. Research information about the characterization of these radioactively contaminated sites, the methods used for reducing the volume of contaminated soil, and the removal of radioactive contaminants from the soil [50][51][52][53] may be studied in class with the students.…”

Soil pollution is a major challenge for ensuring a healthy environment and for human health. One of the critical points in soil pollution policy is the education and public awareness of the problem caused by soil pollution. Education influences decision-making on soil and water care. It is crucial to spread knowledge to undergraduate and graduate students about the determinantal effects of soil pollution on ecosystems and humans, considering today’s students are tomorrow’s guardians of soil and human health. A course on soil pollution aims to provide students with a foundation of the knowledge and skills required to work in this field. Knowledge of soil and contaminant properties, soil-pollutant interaction processes, transport of pollutants by soil and water, human health and ecological risk assessment, and measures for preventing soil pollution are fundamental for the sustainable management of soil and food safety. Students should be aware of the need to avoid the three types of soil pollution (chemical, radioactive, and biological) in industrial, agricultural, forest, and urban soils. This article provides a broad view of the knowledge taught in subjects related to soil pollution and introduces learning activities for undergraduate students.

“…6 The FNPP accident resulted in the release of 137 Cs and 131 I causing the contamination of soil, plants, rivers, and ocean over 15 prefectures of Japan. [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] Radioactive MPs may possess a higher human risk than non-radioactive MPs by the inhalation and ingestion of MPs containing radionuclides.…”
