Heavy metal poisoning of soil from oil spills causes serious environmental problems worldwide. Various causes and effects of heavy metal pollution in the soil environment are discussed in this article. In addition, this study explores new approaches to cleaning up soil that has been contaminated with heavy metals as a result of oil spills. Furthermore, it provides a thorough analysis of recent developments in remediation methods, such as novel nano-based approaches, chemical amendments, bioremediation, and phytoremediation. The objective of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of the removal of heavy metals from oil-contaminated soils. This review emphasizes on the integration of various approaches and the development of hybrid approaches that combine various remediation techniques in a synergistic way to improve sustainability and efficacy. The study places a strong emphasis on each remediation strategy that can be applied in the real-world circumstances while critically evaluating its effectiveness, drawbacks, and environmental repercussions. Additionally, it discusses the processes that reduce heavy metal toxicity and improve soil health, taking into account elements like interactions between plants and microbes, bioavailability, and pollutant uptake pathways. Furthermore, the current study suggests that more research and development is needed in this area, particularly to overcome current barriers, improve our understanding of underlying mechanisms, and inve...
