Soil Pollution
Soil a very important creation of God which helps every living being to survive on earth. It helps to grow different types of vegetation to add beauty to nature and also to be used as food for humans and fodder for animals. It benefits humans and animals all this is possible if the soil is good and fertile and if supplied with proper water and manure would yield good quality of crops. But unfortunately this soil is polluted by we human who results in degradation and spoiling of soil. Its fertility is lost by using too much of pesticides and dumping of non- degradable material in it.
Soil pollution is the result of the build-up of harmful substances in the soil that hamper the growth of plants and also affect animal health. This can happen due to the application of pesticides and dumping of the industrial wastes into the soil. This is the result of an increase in the number of factories and chemical usage.
