Land pollution is the degradation of the Earth's land
surface often caused by human activities and their
misuse of land resources
the degradation of the Earth's land
caused by human activities
misuse of land resources
CAUSES :1. Agricultural depletion of
soil nutrients
through poor
farming practices

2. Deforestation is
removal of
a stand of trees where
the land is thereafter
converted to a non-forest
use
3. Overgrazing occurs
when plants
are exposed to
intensive grazing
for extended periods of
time

4. Inappropriate irrigation
and over drafting
5. By mineral exploitation

6. Indiscriminate disposal
of urban waste
7. Soil contamination
The presence of chemicals in natural soil

Change the soil quality

Affects normal use of soil

Endangering public health and living environment
THE HUMAN RACE WILL BE
THE CANCER OF THE PLANET
-Julian
Huxley
EFFECTS :1. Waste disposal site affects one's health
2. Groundwater gets contaminated due to the toxic
chemicals
3. Disturbs the balance of the ecosystem
Land pollution indirectly affects respiratory system of
human beings. Breathing in polluted dust can result in
number of health problems related to respiratory
system.

Skin problems are often diagnosed due to land
pollution. It is said that improper disposal of household
wastes leads to allergic reactions.
Land pollution has been found as one of the leading
causes for birth defects. Pregnant women living in
unhealthy and dirty environment can incur breathing
problems and a number diseases.
Land pollution has serious effect on wildlife. Flora and
fauna which provides food and shelter to wildlife, are
destroyed.
MEASURES TO CONTROL :1. Use environmentally safe products
2. Compost garden and kitchen waste
3. Recycle everything
