gases that are emitted to the atmosphere damage the air and affect the Ozon layer .Chemicals that are disposed to the sea are killing the sea environment. the global warming is a result of hi amount of gases replacing the oxygen percentage in the air .
Industrial activities: Discharge of toxic chemicals and heavy metals from industries contaminates the soil. Agricultural practices: Overuse of pesticides and fertilizers can lead to soil pollution. Improper waste disposal: Improper disposal of household and industrial waste can introduce harmful substances into the soil. Mining activities: Extracting minerals can release harmful substances into the soil, causing pollution.
A substance or material that causes pollution is called a pollutant. Pollutants can be emitted into the environment through various human activities and can have harmful effects on air, water, and soil quality as well as on human health and ecosystems.
The main types of pollution include air pollution (from emissions, dust, and pollutants), water pollution (from chemicals, sewage, and plastics), soil pollution (from pesticides, chemicals, and waste), and noise pollution (from transportation, industries, and urban activities). Other forms include light pollution (excessive artificial light) and thermal pollution (from heat discharge into water bodies).
Soil pollution is not the main reason for other types of pollution such as air or water pollution, but it can contribute to them indirectly. Contaminants in soil can leach into groundwater or be released into the air through processes like erosion or volatilization, leading to water and air pollution. Addressing soil pollution is important to prevent these secondary forms of pollution.
Surface runoff is rainwater that is not absorbed by soil and instead flows over the land surface. It can pick up pollutants such as pesticides, fertilizers, oils, and sediment as it moves, carrying them into rivers, streams, and lakes, causing water pollution. This pollution can harm aquatic ecosystems and affect human health.
Cars and Industries.
the main cause of soil pollution is fertilizers and manure(man made). the make the soil infertile and unsuitable for growing plants.they also kill the earth worms which produce natural humus. pesticides are the next causes for soil pollution.

dumping of wastes in many areas
Increasing population, Increasing no. of automobiles, factories and industries.
land pollution causes soil damage .This would affect the farmers.
Increasing population, Increasing no. of automobiles, factories and industries.
Deforestation cause l;and pollution because when we cut don the trees, the soil will become loose and soil erosion will take place.
A poisonous gas with a strong smell, that is used in industries and causes air pollution
Industries or too much smoke in the air or the environment beeing a mess or disaster.
1. Use of automobiles which increases air pollution. 2. use of loud speakers in marriages & parties which causes sound pollution. 3. waste of industries is thrown in seas & oceans which causes water pollution.
