Question

State four major impacts of land pollution

Answer 1

Hi there,

Four major impacts of land pollution are following;

1. Human health has been effected due to land pollution. When trash is kept on the road side instead of dumped in trash cans, it creates sited for diseases.
2. Landfills are created more often which is a home to insects and diseases and covers land for no reason.
3. Environment is effected adversely. Deforestation has effected on the environment and has given space to pollution.
4. Wildlife has been effected. Their life is in danger because when they ingest something that is not food, it can become a health hazard for them as well.

I hope the answer was helpful.

Thanks for asking

Hey guys,

I can give you five with my research.

Soil pollution: Another form of land pollution, where the upper layer of the soil is damaged, caused by the overuse of chemical fertilizers, soil erosion caused by running water and other pest control measures resulting in loss of fertile land for agriculture, forest cover, fodder patches for grazing etc.

Climate pattern changes: Land pollution effects are particularly hazardous and can lead to the loss of ecosystems. Directly or indirectly, land pollution affects climate patterns.

Effect on human health: Toxic chemicals and pesticides lead to potentially fatal illnesses like skin cancer and human respiratory system. These chemicals reach us through foods and vegetables grown in polluted soil.

Danger to wildlife: With the loss of habitat and natural environments, the animal kingdom face a serious threat. Constant human activity on land is leaving it polluted, forcing these species to move further away and adapt to new regions or die trying to adjust.

Environmental Impact: Deforestation is compromising tree cover, leading to a highly imbalanced rain cycle. A disturbed rain cycle affects a lot of factors such as our green cover; trees and plants help balance the atmosphere, without them we are subjected to various concerns like global warming, the greenhouse effect, irregular rainfall and flash floods, among other imbalances.

The land is literally the base of our ecosystem. We walk and survive on it, yet continue to abuse it. It is in our interest to understand how we're treating it, and then we can take care of it and nurture it.
