- contamination of soil by human and natural activities which may
cause harmful effect on living organisms.
COMPONENT (%)
Organic mineral matter 45
Organic matter 05
Soil water 25
Soil air 25
1.Industrial wastes
2.Urban wastes
3.Agricultural practices
4.Radioactive pollutants
5.Biological agents
Effect: These pollutants affect and alter the
chemical and biological properties of soil.
Sources: Industrial pollutants are mainly
discharged from various origins such as pulp and
paper mills, chemical fertilizers, oil refineries,
sugar factories, tanneries, textiles, steel,
distilleries, fertilizers, pesticides, coal and mineral
mining industries, drugs, glass, cement,
petroleum and engineering industries etc.
Effect: Urban domestic wastes though disposed off
separately from industrial wastes, can still be
dangerous.
Sources: comprise of both commercial and domestic
wastes consisting of dried sludge and sewage. All the
urban solid wastes are commonly referred to as refuse.
Constituents of urban refuse: This refuse consists of
garbage and rubbish materials like plastics, glasses,
metallic cans, fibres, paper, rubbers, street sweepings,
fuel residues, leaves, containers, abandoned vehicles
and other discarded manufactured products.
Effect: – Modern agricultural practices
pollute the soil to a large extent.
Sources: co agro-technology, huge
quantities of fertilizers, pesticides,
herbicides and weedicides
Effect: – Radioactive substances resulting
from explosions of nuclear testing
laboratories and industries giving rise to
nuclear dust radioactive wastes, penetrate
the soil and accumulate giving rise to
land/soil pollution.
Sources: Radio nuclides of Radium,
Thorium, Uranium, isotopes of Potassium
and Carbon are commonly found in soil,
rock, water and air.
Effect: Heavy application of
manures and digested sludge can
cause serious damage to plants
within a few years
Sources: Soil gets a large amount of
human, animal and bird excreta
which constitute a major source of
land pollution
Physical and Chemical Treatments
Biological Treatments
Thermal Treatments
Vapor extraction can be used to treat soil contaminated
with volatile compounds on or off site.
Solidification and stabilization (S/S) are on-site techniques
used to treat radioactive, hazardous and mixed wastes.
Soil flushing, literally involves flushing a contaminated
area with water or an appropriate liquid solution.
 Bioremediation treats contamination from oil or
petroleum products, pesticides and solvents
In phytoremediation, the soil is cleaned as metals
are taken up and become concentrated in their
foliage.
 Treatments include steam injection and extraction, radio-
frequency heating, conductive heating and electrical
resistance heating,
 vitrification, where high temperatures turn soil to glass,
capturing nonvolatile contaminants such as heavy metals
and radioactive materials.
Thermal desorption volatilizes pollutants, which are then
removed by a gas treatment system.
