Manufacturing plants, mining, and chemical factories release heavy metals, toxic chemicals, and industrial effluents that contaminate nearby soils.
Overuse of fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides leads to soil degradation and pollution. These chemicals can accumulate and disrupt the soil's natural balance.
Dumping untreated industrial and household waste directly onto the land allows harmful substances to leach into the soil.
Rapid urban expansion and construction activities disturb the soil, often leading to contamination with construction materials, chemicals, and other pollutants.
Leaks from oil storage tanks, spills, and accidents during transportation can lead to severe contamination of large soil areas.
