Soil pollution or soil contamination occurs when there are high concentrations of toxic chemicals, contaminants or pollutants in the soil. They pose a risk to the ecosystem. Industrial activity, improper disposal of waste and agricultural chemicals cause soil pollution. Excessive use of chemical fertilizers can change the soil pH, and destroy the structure of the soil. Toxic chemicals like arsenic, uranium and cadmium may accumulate in the soil and eventually enter the fruits and vegetables.

In order to protect the soil from being polluted people should reuse and recycle things. Glass and other reusable containers should be used instead of plastic or paper containers which have to be thrown away. Plastic and paper should be recycled by the local waste management companies so that less amount of waste is sent to a landfill.
