Abstract: Biological remediation of contaminated soil is a potential contamination control technology by its characteristic of high efficiency, low cost and no pollution. The paper analyzed several biological remediation technologies such as animal remediation, phytoremediation, microbial remediation and combined remediation, discussed the technical features of these technologies for treating heavy metals, organic compounds, etc. and provided reference for the remediation of contaminated soil in China by suitable technology.

Key words: Contaminated soil, Animal remediation, Phytoremediation, Microbial remediation, Combined remediation
