Abstract

Agriculture is fundamental to human civilization providing essential resources for food and economic stability. However soil contamination with toxic metals poses significant threats to crop productivity environmental health and human safety. This paper examines the intersection of agricultural practices and chemistry in addressing soil contamination. It explores various chemical methods and innovations for the removal of toxic metals from soil including the use of chelating agents soil washing and phytoremediation techniques. The effectiveness of these methods in different soil types and contamination levels is discussed highlighting both their advantages and limitations. Additionally the paper reviews emerging technologies and their potential for enhancing soil decontamination processes. By integrating agricultural practices with advanced chemical remediation strategies this perspective aims to offer a comprehensive understanding of how chemistry can contribute to sustainable agricul
