Soil pollution can be caused by various sources like agricultural pesticides, disposal of solid waste, mining, urbanization, and industrial activities. It leads to negative effects like reduced soil fertility, crop yields, and groundwater quality. It can also pose various health risks to humans. Some key ways to prevent soil pollution include adopting sustainable agricultural practices, better waste management, reducing the use of toxic chemicals, recycling waste materials, and ensuring pollutants are properly disposed of.
“It is impossible to have a healthy and sound society without a proper respect for the soil.”
― Peter Maurin
This ppt right here- tells you about different type of pesticides and other dangerous chemical stuff.
You would be imagining what the 3rd slide has to do with soil pollution???
ANS-It shows that in 2013-14 India produced 95.9 million tons of wheat which is equal to 35000 of the given pools!!
The next few slides tell you about the industrial waste and waste management.
Some slides even consists of facts about Green Chemistry!
The ppt is not in detail as i had to explain the ppt in class.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2. What is Soil..?
What is soil pollution..?
Soli pollution cause and effects in human
How to prevent…
3. SOIL-
Soil is dynamic natural body
composed of mineral matter and
organic matter and living forms
in which plant grows.
POLLUTION-
An undesirable change in the physical chemical or
biological characteristics of air, water or soil.
5. The contamination of
soil with solid waste,
acid rain excess of
fertilizers, Insecticides
andherbicides is called
soil pollution (or land
pollution).
6. 1) Agricultural pesticides
2) Disposal of solid wastes on land
3) Mining activities
4) Urbanization
5) Biological agents
6) Radioactive pollutants
7) Heavy metal pollutants
kind of soil pollutionkind of soil pollution
7. Acid Rain is caused by air
pollution. The acidic
water falls on the soil and
pollutes it by making the
soil acidic.
Acid RainAcid Rain
8. Comes from homes, cattle sheds,
agricultural fields, industries and
many other places and get
accumulated in the form of heaps.
Solid waste include Cow dung;
Night soil (Human excreta), fruits
and vegetable peels ash ,waste
paper, metal objects etc.
Solid WastesSolid Wastes
9. The use of excess fertilisers to
increase the crop yields makes
the soil either acidic or alkaline
and pollutes it. For example,
excessive use of ammonium
sulphate fertilisers makes the soil
highly acidic whereas the
excessive use of sodium nitrate
fertilisers makes the soil highly
alkaline.
FertilisersFertilisers
10. Insecticides and Herbicides are
poisonous chemicals which are
used to spray standing crops to
prevent them from harmful
insects and herbs . These
insecticides and herbicides mix
with the soil and pollute it.
Insecticides and HerbicidesInsecticides and Herbicides
Insecticides
11. The solid wastes like garbage
destroy the natural beauty and
become a breeding ground for
mosquitoes which spread
diseases like malaria and
Dengue.
Land Pollution caused by acid
rain reduce the fertility of soil
leading to reduction of crop
yields.
13. Causes of Soil Pollution
• High levels of radionuclides like nitrogen
and phosphorus can be found surrounding
farm centers containing high population
densities of livestock.
• Pesticides applied to plants can also seep
into the ground, leaving lasting effects.
• Heavy metals can arrive in the soil by
using polluted water to wet crops and by
using mineral fertilizers.
• Industry is to blame for some of the
biggest soil-pollution disasters.
14. • Reduced soil fertility
• Reduced nitrogen fixation
• Increased erodibility
• Larger loss of soil and nutrients
• Deposition of silt in tanks and reservoirs
• Reduced crop yield
• Imbalance in soil fauna and flora
Agricultural effects
19. Urbanization effects
• Clogging of drains
• Inundation of areas
• Public health problems
• Pollution of drinking water sources
• Foul smell and release of gases
• Waste management problems
22. Process in which certain non-biodegradable
substances go on accumulating in the food-chain.
Most common example is of methyl mercury in fish
and mercury in eagles.
Not only does bio magnification put the particular species
at risk, it puts all the species above and below it at risk,
and ultimately affects the food pyramid.
Ecosystem effects
23. Health consequences from exposure to soil contamination vary
greatly depending on pollutant type, pathway of attack and
vulnerability of the exposed population.
Health hazards:
Direct affect on human health.
Contamination of ground water aquifers.
Chronic exposure to chromium, lead and other metals, petroleum,
solvents, and many pesticide and herbicide can be carcinogenic,
can cause congenital disorders.
Health effects
24.
25. 1. Adoption of sustainable agriculture having organic
farming and use of biofertilizers, biointegrated pest
management and proper water management,
composting etc.
2. Adoption of suitable and proper industrial and urban
wastes management.
3. Adequate controlled use of heavy metal and toxic
substances.
4. Non-biodegradable wastes can be
recycled and used again
3. Biomedical wastes should be carefully
disposed off so that it does not create
any health hazard.
26. Prevention of Soil Pollution
Landfills
Recycling
Composting
Incineration
Production of
Biogas and Manure
Naturally, prevention is the best cure for soil
pollution. Consumers can also make a concerted
effort to buy organic foods to demand that
chemical pesticides aren't used on their foods.
27. Most of the solid
wastes in urban areas
are buried in low-lying
areas to level the
uneven ground. This is
called Landfills.
LandfillsLandfills
28. It is the method of recovery and processing of
Biodegradable wastes or materials after they
have been used, which enables them to be
used. For example, solid wastes like paper,
plastics and metals, etc., are recycled.
Industrial wastes are treated in special plants
and valuable wastes are recycled.
RecyclingRecycling
11
CompostingComposting
In this method, the domestic waste like fruit and vegetable waste, left-over food, leaves of potted plants etc., can
be converted into compost and used as manure.
29. It means ‘reduction to ashes’. The burning of a
substance at high temperature to form ash is called
Incineration. It is used to destroy household waste,
chemical waste and biological waste. Incineration is
carried out in incinerator.
IncinerationIncineration

30. In this method Cow dung is fed into biogas plants
to produce biogas and obtain manure.

32. Contour planting
Plant across a hillside
(instead of up and
down),slows run off
Strip farming
Planting alternating crops in
strips across land
In combination with contour
planting, this slows erosion
33. • Terracing
Similar to strip farming
Land is shaped…level ridges of land are
created to hold water and soil in place
More expensive and time consuming but allows
cultivation on steep grades and increases
sustainability (this is how rice is grown in Asia)
• Perennial plant growing
Coffee and tea
Plants that grow during several seasons
Do not have to harvested yearly AND hold soil
longer
Ground cover plants (alfalfa) hold and protect
soil from erosion if planted right after initial
harvest
