Hey mate!
Here's your answer!
• Soil is polluted by dumping all the garbage inside it. It also includes plastics. Since plastics takes a lot of time to decompose, it actually pollutes the soil.
• Since pesticides are made up of chemicals, when it is overused, the soil gets polluted.
Hope it helps :)

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.
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
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.
Natural processes leading to soil pollution:
Natural accumulation of compounds in soil due to imbalances between atmospheric deposition and leaking away with precipitation water (e.g., concentration and accumulation of perchlorate in soils in arid environments)Natural production in soil under certain environmental conditions (e.g., natural formation of perchlorate in soil in the presence of a chlorine source, metallic object and using the energy generated by a thunderstorm)Leaks from sewer lines into subsurface (e.g., adding chlorine which could generate trihalomethanes such as chloroform).
