Soil Pollution
When the top
layer of land is depleted due to human or nature in the quality of the soil,
then it is called soil pollution.
Due to soil pollution
Soil
pollution can be the following.
1. Soil
erosion
2. Decrease
in micro-organisms living in soil.
3. High
volatility in temperature.
4. By mining
industries
5. In the
process of urbanization and road construction.
6. Wastes
derived from industries, which are shed on the ground; Such as metals, acids,
alkalis, dyes, metal-oxides, insecticides etc.
7. In
western Rajasthan and many other parts of the country, underground water is
saline. In which the upper soil becomes insipid due to irrigation.
8. The use
of insecticides, herbs, and pesticides in agriculture increases soil toxicity.
9. Soil is
polluted by getting rid of waste and waste products in the soil.
Effects of Soil Pollution
1. With soil
erosion the land turns into wasteland.
2.
Pesticides, fungicides, fumigants, such as - BEHC, DDT, in the food chain of
the Alti man, crops, vegetables, milk eggs etc. come in the food they create
many deadly diseases.
3. Some
chemicals are never decomposed in the mud and make permanent maladies in them.
4. The
sulfur compounds act with water and make the acid and the soil excessive. This
acidity makes acidic trees - damages the plants.
5. Urban
waste has inexpensive waste and excessive plastic, which never ends.
Measures for soil pollution control
1.
Extra-more trees should be protected from erosion by planting more trees.
2. Organic
manure in the form of compost; For example, chemical fertilization should be
used in dung, leaf manure and low quantity.
3.
Industrial effluents are prohibited without shedding the soil without proper
treatment and filtering lethal chemicals.
4. Disposal
of national urban wastewater used in power generation and manure production
etc., disposed of waste.
5. Use of at
least pesticides should be used for agricultural production.
6. India has
set up National Land Use and Protection Board in this direction. Coordination
policy for the health and scientific management of the land resources of the
country works at the national level in the form of planning and monitoring.
The program
for the revival of alkaline soil was done in the seventh plan, in which about 7
million hectares of land in the country are about 3 68 million hectares are
suffering from alkalinity. Thus, the alkaline land is located in 11 states.
