Soil pollution, also called land pollution, is caused by various sources including acid rain, excess fertilizers, insecticides, herbicides, and solid waste. Acid rain falls from the sky and makes soil acidic, reducing fertility. Excess fertilizers can make soil too acidic or alkaline. Insecticides and herbicides are poisonous chemicals used on crops that contaminate the soil. Solid waste accumulates from various sources and destroys natural beauty while spreading disease. Soil pollution endangers health and the environment by damaging soil structure, reducing fertility, and entering the food chain. Proper waste disposal through landfills, recycling, composting, and incineration can help address this issue.
This document discusses various types and sources of water pollution including infectious agents, oxygen-demanding waste, inorganic chemicals, radioactive materials, plant nutrients, organic chemicals, eroded sediment, and heat pollution from sources such as sewage, industrial effluent, and agricultural and urban runoff. It describes how these pollutants can reduce oxygen levels in water and harm ecosystems. It also discusses solutions for preventing and cleaning up pollution in surface water, groundwater, oceans, and drinking water through better waste treatment, reducing nonpoint and point source pollution, and other methods.

Environmental Pollution in Agriculture: Factors & Strategies for MitigationMdAbdullahAlAslam
Agricultural pollution is a major contributor to environmental degradation, accounting for 58% of water pollution according to the FAO. Pollution occurs from pesticides, fertilizers, machinery exhaust, and agricultural waste, and has wide-ranging effects. Water pollution kills organisms and disrupts food chains, potentially causing sickness or death in humans and reducing fish populations. Soil pollution decreases fertility and nutrients, lowering crop yields. Air pollution reduces oxygen and causes health issues. Mitigation strategies include using less fertilizer and pesticides, adopting green manure, drainage management, solar energy, conservation tillage, and solid waste management.
Soil pollution is defined as changes to the physical, chemical, and biological properties of soil caused by human activity. It is caused by excessive use of chemicals like pesticides and fertilizers, soil erosion, industrial and urban waste, radioactive waste, and acid rain. Effects include reduced soil fertility, loss of nutrients, and damage to microorganisms, plants, and human health. Prevention methods include reducing chemical use, proper waste disposal, recycling, afforestation, and enacting environmental laws. Individuals and industries must work together to control measures like using biodegradable waste and minimizing chemical usage to reduce soil pollution.
The document discusses various topics related to soil pollution and conservation efforts. It describes how soil is formed and its composition. Several causes of soil erosion are mentioned, including deforestation, poor farming methods, overgrazing, and mining. Agricultural practices like unskilled irrigation and excessive use of chemicals can also pollute soil. Methods of soil conservation discussed include maintaining soil fertility, controlling grazing, terracing, and reforestation. The importance of forests is outlined, noting their role in environmental quality, wildlife support, and providing commercial products. Reforestation programs have been implemented to help reduce pollution.
Soil pollution occurs when soil is contaminated by substances like heavy metals, chemicals, and inorganic compounds from sources such as coal, sewage, and fertilizers. This contamination can harm plant growth and human health. Agriculture relies on fertilizers and pesticides to improve soils and protect crops, but overuse and misuse of these chemicals can pollute soils and create other problems. Both organic and inorganic fertilizers are used to provide nutrients to soils, but organic fertilizers tend to be safer and better for soil quality as they release nutrients slowly and support soil microbes. Pesticides are also used to control pests but can contaminate soils and harm other organisms if over-applied. Proper management of fertilizers and pesticides
Increased population growth and changes in diets have led to agricultural expansion and intensification, which are global drivers of water pollution from agriculture. This pollution comes from excess nutrients, pesticides, sediments, salts, organic matter, pathogens, and metals, and has local effects like nutrient surplus in Europe causing eutrophication and groundwater pollution. Potential responses include good practices, technologies, policies, and research to address anthropogenic root causes and reduce impacts on water quality, health, ecosystems, and economic activities.

Land pollution is defined as the contamination of the earth's surface through human activities like excessive farming without allowing the land to replenish nutrients, introducing pollutants, and improper waste disposal. Some key causes are overuse of pesticides, deforestation, and poor farming techniques. Effects include lack of available farmland, health problems, expensive land reclamation, and contaminated groundwater. Proposed solutions involve recycling waste, organic farming, proper waste treatment, education, legislation, and efficient resource use.
The document discusses the different types of environmental pollution including air, water, soil, noise pollution. It describes the causes, effects and methods to prevent each type of pollution. The main types of pollution covered are air pollution caused by vehicles, industries and biomass burning, which causes respiratory issues. Water pollution from industrial effluents and sewage affects aquatic life. Soil pollution from agriculture and waste impacts soil fertility. Noise pollution is mainly from vehicles, construction and loud music which disrupts humans and wildlife. Prevention methods include use of emissions standards, waste treatment and not exceeding noise limits.
Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

Climate change refers to significant and lasting changes in the average weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It encompasses both global warming driven by human emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns. While climate change is a natural phenomenon, human activities, particularly since the Industrial Revolution, have accelerated its pace and intensity
Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.
Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.
Recycling and Disposal on SWM Raymond Einyu pptxRayLetai1
Increasing urbanization, rural–urban migration, rising standards of living, and rapid development associated with population growth have resulted in increased solid waste generation by industrial, domestic and other activities in Nairobi City. It has been noted in other contexts too that increasing population, changing consumption patterns, economic development, changing income, urbanization and industrialization all contribute to the increased generation of waste.
With the increasing urban population in Kenya, which is estimated to be growing at a rate higher than that of the country’s general population, waste generation and management is already a major challenge. The industrialization and urbanization process in the country, dominated by one major city – Nairobi, which has around four times the population of the next largest urban centre (Mombasa) – has witnessed an exponential increase in the generation of solid waste. It is projected that by 2030, about 50 per cent of the Kenyan population will be urban.
Aim:
A healthy, safe, secure and sustainable solid waste management system fit for a world – class city.
Improve and protect the public health of Nairobi residents and visitors.
Ecological health, diversity and productivity and maximize resource recovery through the participatory approach.
Goals:
Build awareness and capacity for source separation as essential components of sustainable waste management.
Build new environmentally sound infrastructure and systems for safe disposal of residual waste and replacing current dumpsites which should be commissioned.
Current solid waste management situation:
The status.
Solid waste generation rate is at 2240 tones / day
collection efficiently is at about 50%.
Actors i.e. city authorities, CBO’s , private firms and self-disposal
Current SWM Situation in Nairobi City:
Solid waste generation – collection – dumping
Good Practices:
• Separation – recycling – marketing.
• Open dumpsite dandora dump site through public education on source separation of waste, of which the situation can be reversed.
• Nairobi is one of the C40 cities in this respect , various actors in the solid waste management space have adopted a variety of technologies to reduce short lived climate pollutants including source separation , recycling , marketing of the recycled products.
• Through the network, it should expect to benefit from expertise of the different actors in the network in terms of applicable technologies and practices in reducing the short-lived climate pollutants.
Good practices:
Despite the dismal collection of solid waste in Nairobi city, there are practices and activities of informal actors (CBOs, CBO-SACCOs and yard shop operators) and other formal industrial actors on solid waste collection, recycling and waste reduction.
Practices and activities of these actor groups are viewed as innovations with the potential to change the way solid waste is handled.
CHALLENGES:
• Resource Allocation.
Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...Joshua Orris
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.
