Soil is the topmost layer of the earth's crust. Soil enables and sustains life on the planet, without which there would be no living beings on Earth.

But recently, due to human greed and irresponsibility, soil pollution has become a dangerous phenomenon, if it is not controlled then it will have devastating effect on our environment and food cycle in future.

Soil pollution has been a problem since rapid industrialization and globalization. Governments as well as people should come forward to implement strong laws and policies to prevent soil pollution from happening further.

Wrong farming practices, dumping of harmful waste and waste disposal on open land, breakdown of underground storage tanks, industrial waste disposal are some of the reasons which are causing soil pollution.

A polluted soil, containing no nutrients and useful chemicals, is of no use to humans, plants and animals, resulting in the abandonment of that land in search of new land. Deforestation occurs as a result of the discovery of a new piece of land to cultivate on it.

Deforestation will result in soil erosion, melting of glaciers, global warming, floods and many other disasters. Each chain is interconnected in nature and disturbance in one link will result in a disturbance in the whole chain. In summary, pollution is easy to create, but its effects are difficult to address.
