Experiments done by mankind and some of the leading soil pollution causes are discussed below. • Industrial wastes, such as harmful gases and chemicals, agricultural pesticides, fertilizers and insecticides are the most important causes of soil pollution. • Ignorance towards soil management and related systems. • Unfavorable and harmful irrigation practices.

• Improper septic system and management and maintenance of the same. • Leakages from sanitary sewage. • Acid rains, when fumes released from industries get mixed with rains.

This would also affect the larger predators and compel them to move to other places, once they lose their food supply. Soil pollution has many sources, from agriculture to industry to human activity. Polluted soils affect harm life and, in turn, wildlife. Depending upon the polluting agent, pollutants can persist in the environment. Solutions, therefore, involve not just removing a source of pollution but also cleaning up and restoring the polluted area.

Adding to the complexity of soil pollution is nonpoint source pollution (NSP), which enters the environment through runoff. Take any action at your disposal to reduce soil pollution, as you may not always find a clearly defined source. • Soil contaminants are spilled onto the surface through many different activities. • Most of these are the result of accidents involving the vehicles that are transporting waste material from site of origin to a disposal site.
