SOIL POLLUTION

PREVENTION OF SOIL POLLUTION

To prevent soil pollution, its causes must be controlled.

1. Reduce the use of plastics: Plastics and polythene bags destroy the fertility of the soil. Hence, these should be disposed off properly and if possible, their use should be avoided.

2. Industrial pollutants: Some waste products from industries and homes pollute the soil. These pollutants should be treated chemically to make them harmless before they are disposed off.

3. Insecticides: Other pollutants of soil include pesticides and insecticides.

4. Use manures instead of chemical fertilizers.

5. Industrial waste should be treated before release.

Therefore, the excessive use of these substances should be avoided.
