About Land Pollution

by Chabala Chisenga | 23-10-2021 06:39


Land pollution is a major problem around the world and is caused by a variety of factors. Some of main causes of soil pollution include deforestation and consequent erosion, agriculture, industry, mining, landfills and illegal dumping of waste as well as urbanization and construction. 

Land pollution is a result of dumping garbage, waste, and other toxins making the land contaminated or polluted. 

The source of land pollution comes from the human element such as littering, and waste that is washed ashore from boats, oil rigs, and sewage outlets.
 
Landfills release the greenhouse gas methane, which may lead to global warming. 

Different kinds of land pollution have been known to have adverse affects on the health of animals and humans. The harmful chemicals that can get into the soil and water can cause cancers, deformities, and skin problems.
