CAUSES OF LAND POLLUTION
• Chemicals- Farmers use chemicals to improve the growth of the plants and to kill insects and
unwanted plants. When these chemicals mix with soil they lower the quality of soil.
• Farm Waste- Farm wastes such as plant parts also pollute soil.
• Household Waste- Throwing household wastes such as cans, bottles and plastic bags pollute the
land.
• Animal Waste- These wastes make the land dirty.
