Soil Pollution Causes
There are numerous causes of soil pollution that occur every day or even every minute. For ease of reference, they are generally split into two: man-made (anthropogenic) causes and naturally occurring causes.
Man-Made Pollutants
Anthropogenic (man-made) soil pollution originates in several types of processes, some deliberate (industrial) and some accidental. Human-caused soil pollution can work in conjunction with natural processes to increase the toxic contamination levels in the soil.
Accidental spills and leaks during storage, transport or use of chemicals (e.g. leaks and spills of gasoline and diesel at gas stations);
Foundry activities and manufacturing processes that involve furnaces or other processes resulting in the possible dispersion of contaminants in the environment;
Mining activities involving the crushing and processing of raw materials, for instance, heavy metals, emitting toxic substances;
Construction activities (see below)
Agricultural activities involving the diffusion of herbicides, pesticides and/or insecticides and fertilizers;
Transportation activities, releasing toxic vehicle emissions
Chemical waste dumping, whether accidental or deliberate – such as illegal dumping;
The storage of waste in landfills, as the waste products may leak into groundwater or generate polluted vapors
Cracked paint chips falling from building walls, especially lead-based paint.
