Abstract

Soil pollution, arising from a myriad of anthropogenic activities, poses a significant threat to environmental and human well-being. This article provides an in-depth exploration of soil pollution, examining its sources, impacts on soil health, and the far-reaching consequences for biodiversity, water quality, and human health. Key contributors to soil pollution, including industrial discharges, agricultural practices, and waste disposal, are identified. The article discusses the implications of soil pollution on human health, emphasizing the importance of sustainable soil management practices. Mitigation strategies, ranging from contaminated site remediation to the adoption of sustainable agricultural methods, are discussed. The future of soil management is considered in the context of emerging technologies, regulatory measures, and a collective commitment to environmental stewardship.
