GROUND POLLUTION

Ground pollution is the alteration of chemical-physical and biological equilibrium of the soil, but also the tendency towards erosion and  landslide.

CAUSES OF GROUND POLLUTION 

• Too much excavating to search for minerals can cause landslides;
• The extreme water withdrawals make the water -bearing layer lower. Extreme water-bearing layer withdrawals can have also chemical consequences like the coming of seawater into the water-bearing layer making the fresh water salty;
• The wrong disposal of rubbish that can change the quality of food that grows there.

 REMEDIES FOR GROUND POLLUTION

- The correct managent of all types of waste;

- The ban on chemical products (which can be strongly contaminants) in agricultural activities;

- Developing programs of reforestation and reclamation, in order to clean contaminated lands;

- Correct recycling;

- Using materials which can be recycled (for example paper or glass instead of plastic);

- Making responsible use of water and try not waste it;

- Enacting rules to protect the natural environment, and respect them.
