Abstract

Undoubtedly, COVID-19 pandemic is one of the most devastating pandemics in the recent era and major problem for sustainability of life. This virus has severely impacted both environmental and human health. Moreover, it has become the top priority among other challenging global issues including pollution, climate change, urbanization, and unsustainable consumption, which have led to major environmental disturbances and biodiversity loss. The COVID-19 may have long-lasting impacts on the environment health, biodiversity, and soil security, consequently, will raising several scientific questions to be investigated in near future including the expected environmental impacts of COVID-19 on soil, water and air, connecting the missing links between environmental pollutions and COVID-19. Most importantly, unraveling the role of soil in spreading or reducing transmission of the COVID-19 pandemic, and soil xenobiotics status under the COVID-19 outbreak. Understanding the projected management scenario of soil and freshwater pollution in the post-COVID-19 era and the potential impact of COVID-19 on food and soil security would be of immense aid in the preparation of future pandemics. This opinion article aims to analyze and foresee some of the major issues for meeting the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals.

环境、生物多样性和土壤安全:2019冠状病毒病时代的新维度
毫无疑问,2019冠状病毒病大流行是近年来最具破坏性的大流行病之一,也是生命可持续性的重大问题。这种病毒严重影响了环境和人类健康。此外,它已成为污染、气候变化、城市化和不可持续消费等其他具有挑战性的全球问题的重中之重,这些问题导致了重大的环境干扰和生物多样性丧失。2019冠状病毒病可能对环境健康、生物多样性和土壤安全产生长期影响,因此将提出几个科学问题,需要在不久的将来进行研究,包括2019冠状病毒病对土壤、水和空气的预期环境影响,以及连接环境污染与2019冠状病毒病之间缺失的联系。最重要的是,揭示土壤在2019冠状病毒病大流行传播或减少传播中的作用,以及2019冠状病毒病疫情下土壤外源物的状况。了解后COVID-19时代土壤和淡水污染的预计管理情景,以及COVID-19对粮食和土壤安全的潜在影响,将有助于为未来的大流行做准备。这篇评论文章旨在分析和预见实现联合国可持续发展目标的一些主要问题。
