Modelling pollutant transport across the soil-water-atmosphere continuum, and impacts on ecosystem services
Developing sustainable solutions for soil pollution
Project overview
SOILPROM combats soil pollution across Europe using advanced technology and collaborative research. We focus on reducing harmful pollutants and fostering sustainable soil management to enhance ecosystem health.
Project main objective
The overall objective of SOILPROM is to deliver upgraded and integrated models for pollutant transport and fate that assess the impact of soil pollution on soil functions and related ecosystem services and to support local stakeholders towards sustainable land management strategies and policies for healthy soils all over Europe, by considering a selection of pollutants that are considered to have a high risk to the environment and humans.

Advanced Modelling Tools
SOILPROM uses advanced digital tools to model soil pollution from metals, PFAS, nutrients, microplastics, and pesticides across soil, air, water, and plants.
Ecosystem Service Measurement
The project focuses on quantifying ecosystem services and assessing local policies in seven use-cases to develop strategies that reduce pollution and improve soil health across Europe.
Stakeholder Engagement
SOILPROM will engage a broad spectrum of stakeholders—including the R&D community, policymakers, and land managers—through regular workshops and meetings to align with their needs.
Sustainable Policy Solutions
SOILPROM offers unique insights and recommendations to improve soil management and policy by modeling pollutant transport and assessing its impact on ecosystem services.
