Soil Pollution

Soil pollution refers to the contamination of soil with harmful substances, making it unsafe for plants, animals, and humans. This pollution often results from activities like industrial waste disposal, agricultural chemicals (like pesticides and fertilizers), and improper waste management. Contaminated soil can lead to reduced agricultural productivity, loss of biodiversity, and health hazards, as toxins can enter the food chain. Addressing soil pollution is crucial for maintaining a healthy environment and ensuring safe food production. Awareness and sustainable practices can help prevent further degradation of our soil resources.
