The document discusses sources of soil contamination from various human activities. The main sources are industry, agriculture, and transport, which pollute soils with heavy metals, chemicals, pesticides, fertilizers, and exhaust fumes. Road transport particularly negatively impacts soils by polluting them with lead and hydrocarbons. To counteract soil destruction, the document recommends proper farming techniques, limiting industrial pollution through green technologies, preventing erosion, and reducing municipal waste and wastewater contamination.
