LAND POLLUTION MAHESH S WAGHMARE Department of Engineering Sciences International Institute of Information Technology, I IT www.isquareit.edu.in
What is Land Pollution Land Pollution is due to deterioration of the earth s land surface. It is happening due to direct and indirect activities by human beings. If we misuse the land resources then land pollution takes place.
CAUSES OF LAND POLLUTION Deforestation and consequent erosion Illegal dumping of waste Urbanisation and construction Agriculture and industry Mining
Deforestation It is permanent removal of trees to make a space in the forest. It includes clearing the land for agricultural or grazing. The forest covers more than 30% of the earth s land surface.
Illeagal dumping of waste It is also called as fly dumping where dumping of waste is illegally done instead of authorised method.
Urbanisation and construction In this process people moves from rural area to urban area.so construction activities are increasing and land pollution takes place.
Agricultural and industry In this process the spreading of plant protection product like pesticides and herbicides and farms are the origin of land pollution.
Mining In mining process there is erosion, sinkholes, and loss of biodiversity. Also due to this process there is a contamination of soil, ground water, and surface water by emitted from process. chemicals mining
Effect of Land Pollution Soil pollution Change on climate pattern Environmental Impact Effect on human health Causes air pollution Distraction for tourists Effect on wild life
Solution for land pollution People should aware about 3Rs, Like Reduce, Recycle, Reuse . Try to reduce pesticides and fertilizers in agricultural activities. People should avoid buying packages item which lead to create garbage and end at landfill site. Use biodegradable product.
