If a person throw garbage on the street how long does it pollute the land?

That would mainly depend on how much garbage you threw out. For example if you were to throw a candy wrapper on the ground, it wouldn't be the cause for Global Warming, but if you threw a truckload of them on the ground, then it would be much more harmful. I highly doubt that if any single person were to throw a piece of trash on the ground it would cause a lot of pollution, but keep in mind that other people are doing that too and when lots of people do it, then it becomes a problem.

Glyphosate is considered to be biodegradable, as it can be broken down by microorganisms in the environment. However, the rate of degradation can vary based on environmental factors like soil type, temperature, and microbial activity. While glyphosate itself degrades relatively quickly in some conditions, its breakdown products may persist longer and can have ecological effects. Overall, its biodegradation is complex and context-dependent.

it is called the prevention of land pollution.

That may help to prevent it but what to do after the land is polluted is the real question.

Other pollutants can often be countered with chemicals that either bind the contamination or neutralize them making them inert.

It is not a cheap or easy fix and as mentioned above the best remedy is to not pollute in the first place and practice prevention.
