SOIL POLLUTION

1

SOIL POLLUTION

• Soil pollution is the introduction of substances, biological organisms, or energy into the soil, resulting in a change of the soil quality, which is likely to affect the normal use of the soil or endangering public health and the living environment.

• Soil contamination is caused by the presence of XENOBIOTIC chemicals or other alteration in the natural soil environment.

2

SOURCES OF SOIL POLLUTION

• Human and Animal excreta• Organic Insecticides &

Pesticides• Chemical Pollutants • Radioactive Substances• Urban Wastes• Industrial Pollutants• Absorption of Toxic Metals

Plastic packaging and plastic rings,Plastic bags for more plastic things,Plastic bottles for the water you drink,But plastic causes death so stop and think!

EFFECTS

• Water mixed with human excretes, sewage and sludge kills the microorganism and reduces the fertility of soil.

• Garbage, sludge and dead animals create bad odor which causes chronic diseases.

• Urban solid wastes such as rubbish, broken articles etc obstruct the public passage.

• Pesticides seep gradually through the soil and contaminate the underground drinking water storage.

• Hazardous substances can indirectly affect the food

chain and thus the entire ecosystem.5

Control of Soil Pollution

• Prevention of soil erosion and degradation by forestation.

• By using fewer pesticides and bio fertilizers.

• Zooming farming.

• Bioremediation: treatment process that uses microorganisms to break down hazardous substances.6

Control of Noise Pollution

• Control at the receiver’s end

• Suppression of noise at source

• Creating silence zone

• Sound insulation• Planting of trees• Legislative

measures13

Look Outside, see the treesWatch the flowers in the breeze

Things won't be like this in a year or twoIf polluting is all we do so wake up people

Show the world what you can do.
