1. The document discusses soil pollution and its management. It defines soil pollution as resulting in a change of soil quality that can affect the normal use of soil or endanger public health and the environment. 2. Soil pollution is caused by the presence of chemicals or other alterations to the natural soil environment. Common causes include excessive use of fertilizers and pesticides, solid waste dumping, and erosion from overgrazing or deforestation. 3. The effects of soil pollution include contaminants being washed away and accumulating elsewhere, evaporating and contributing to air pollution, or infiltrating groundwater supplies. The document outlines several strategies for controlling soil pollution, such as minimizing chemical usage and improving waste disposal methods.

3. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
''The Soil Pollution file are made with the help of
'‘Maharishi University of Information Technology'‘
Lucknow Teachers, Professor and Head of Department
of Geology. Geology teacher provide me notes and
books. Google provide me Soil Pollution currently
information, photographs and maps etc. Classmates
provide some important notes for Soil Pollution. My
friends (Geology Department) instructed me to make
the file in a proper manner. My family also help me. So
thanks for all. If any mistakes, so sorry''.

the organisms in the soil.
2. Kind of material-organic or inorganic- is the material
biodegradable/ dangerous to animals & humans.
3. C:N ratio of the pollutant material.
4. Nature of soil: will the soil be able to handle the material
before groundwater is contaminated.
5. Growing conditions for the soil organisms: - is it too
cold, too wet etc.
6. How long the material has been on site: is there
evidence of environmental problems, is it undergoing
decomposition.
