Soil is the thin layer of organic and inorganic materials that covers the Earth's rocky surface.
Soil is composed of particles of broken rock that have been altered by chemical and mechanical processes that include weathering and erosion.
What is Soil..??

Types Of Soils
![Page 5: Soil pollution](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062523/58f9aedc760da3da068ba6f1/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
• It is defined as the build-up in soils of persistent toxic compounds, chemicals, salts, radioactive materials, or disease causing agents, which have adverse effects on plant growth and animal health.
Soil pollution is also caused by means other than the direct addition of xenobiotic (man-made) chemicals such as agricultural runoff waters, industrial waste materials, acidic precipitates, and radioactive fallout.

Types of Soil Pollution

Plants on which we depend for food are under attack from insects, fungi, bacteria, viruses, rodents and other animals, and must compete with weeds for nutrients.
To kill unwanted populations living in or on their crops, farmers use pesticides.
The remnants of such pesticides used on pests may get adsorbed by the soil particles and contaminate root crops grown in that soil.
The consumption of such crops causes the pesticides remnants to enter human biological systems, affecting them adversely.
Agricultural Soil Pollution

• Reduced soil fertility• Reduced nitrogen fixation• Increased erodibility• Larger loss of soil and nutrients• Deposition of silt in tanks and reservoirs• Reduced crop yield• Imbalance in soil fauna and flora

Large quantity of solid wastes like unused and rejected chemicals (like sludge, press mud, saw dust, bottles, plastic materials etc.), unwanted industrial wastes generated during manufacturing processes are dumped over on the surface of soil by almost all industries with difference in the degree.
Larger the production base, larger is the generation of wastes. Traditionally, these materials have been dumped around the
factory site or around the entire city. Rarely, they are put to recycling or safe conversion.
Industrial Soil Pollution

1. Dangerous chemicals entering underground water.
2. Ecological imbalance.3. Release of pollutant gases.4. Increased salinity.5. Reduced vegetation.

Industrial Effects:
Soil pollution due to industrial waste
Polluted land with dangerous chemicals

Urban activities generate large quantities of city wastes including several Biodegradable materials (like vegetables, animal wastes, papers, wooden pieces, carcasses, plant twigs, leaves, cloth wastes as well as sweepings) and many non-biodegradable materials (such as plastic bags, plastic bottles, plastic wastes, glass bottles, glass pieces, stone / cement pieces).
On a rough estimate Indian cities are producing solid city wastes to the tune of 50,000 - 80,000 metric tons every day.
If left uncollected and decomposed, they are a cause of several problems.
Soil Pollution due to Urbanization
![Page 21: Soil pollution](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062523/58f9aedc760da3da068ba6f1/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
• Clogging of drains• Inundation of areas• Public health problems• Pollution of drinking water sources• Foul smell and release of gases• Waste management problems
Urbanization effects:

Urbanization effects:
Contamination of soil due to waste water & Garbage

•Pollution runs off into rivers and kills the fish, plants and other aquatic life•Crops and fodder grown on polluted soil may pass the pollutants on to the consumers.•Polluted soil may no longer grow crops and fodder•Soil structure is damaged (clay ionic structure impaired.)•Corrosion of foundations and pipelines•May release vapours and hydrocarbon into buildings and cellars•May create toxic dusts•May poison children playing in the area

Reducing chemical fertilizer and pesticide use. Recycling is another way to reduce and control soil pollution.
Recycling paper, plastics and other materials reduces the volume of refuse in landfills, another common cause of soil pollution.
Reusing of materials De-forestation, the cutting down of trees, causes erosion,
pollution and the loss of fertility in the topsoil. Planting trees (or) Afforestation helps prevent soil erosion and pollution.
Methods to control Soil Pollution

Designated pits should be used for the dumping of soil wastes. These wastes should be treated chemically and biologically to make them less toxic and hazardous.
Use of pesticides & fertilizers should be minimized and Using of organic manure should be adapted.
Cropping techniques should be improved to prevent growth of weeds.
Building Bio-Gas Plants.

Certainly Our Country that is growing rapidly and developing in various fields, but in the rapid pace of development,
many do not realise that they are polluting environment.
So, I conclude that for the development of our country we have to go to
sustainable development
Conclusion
