Land pollution occurs through the contamination of soil and dumping of solid waste on land. It is caused by industrial waste, agricultural chemicals, and improper disposal of urban waste. Solid waste includes materials from agriculture, mining, industry, sewage treatment, and garbage. Soil pollution results from chemicals in pesticides and herbicides used in farming. The consequences of land pollution include respiratory, skin, and cancer issues for humans and wildlife. Pollutants enter the body through skin contact, water sources, and consumption of contaminated plants. Prevention requires education, proper waste disposal, reuse/recycling, and sustainable agricultural practices.
