Oil pollution is when you put something into the soil that can harm it such as coal, healthy soil needs bacteria, fungi and small animals to break down wastes in the soil.
Answer:
Oil pollution is the addition of hydrocarbons (gasoline, diesel, furnace fuel, lubricating oil etc.) to the natural environment. The environment in this case could be soil, water, ground water, or surface water.
The resulting contamination can:
* impact the taste and odour of drinking water, produce a visible slick on the surface of the water or if thick enough, contaminate fish, and/or aquatic birds or mammals. * affect soil by impacting the growth of plants, modifyingt soil structures, or poisoning the soil ecology.

Which is more dangerous point pollution or nonpoint pollution?
Point pollution is when the pollution happens right there, where the factory chimneys are, where the oil pipe breaks, or the oil tanker crashes, or the nuclear power plant explodes. The pollution is at the point where it happened.Non-point pollution is when the pollution happened somewhere else. Fumes escape from cars on the highway. The oil tanker crashed up there, but the pollution ran across the roads and landscape and into the ditch and into the waterways and into the ocean. The pollution ends up at the non-point where it happened.You can't say which is more dangerous, because it depends what the pollution is. A nuclear accident is usually more dangerous at point because the radiation weakens as it moves further away from the source. Oil pollution is damaging at point, but is more dangerous if the oil gets into the waterways and oceans where it can do a lot of damage. Pollution from a coal-burning power station is huge and constant.
