Abstract

Soil pollution is everywhere and poses a serious threat to human and ecological health. Growing population pressure on natural resources beyond the recycling capacity of soil is creating soil pollution. Different organic and inorganic pollutants are dumped on healthy soil/water bodies and reach to human body via food chain contamination. It causes different carcinogenic effects like organ failure (kidney, pancreas, liver), suppression of immunity system, imbalance of endocrine hormone, and failure of reproductive system. With pace of scientific development, pollutant detection capacity, identification of pollutant routes origin to final disposal, interaction with soil particles, and impact on soil health, degradation time and uptake by crop plant are well studied. Soil is acted as a sink for pollutant. Long-term application of polluted water in agricultural production system poses health hazards effect and leads to cancer. Soil biodiversity also reduces and degradation of pollutant is slowed down, which is responsible for longer persistence of chemicals in an ecosystem. Use of tradition and modern tool and techniques for combating soil pollution are advocating. Spread awareness among the grassroot peoples by different agencies to identify the pollutant toxicity prior to dispose. Healthy soil produces healthy crop yield and provides better eco-services for human welfare.
