Land pollution is caused by waste in liquid or solid form from uncontrolled garbage disposal, sewage, and toxic and nuclear waste. It results in changes to soil color, fertility, and structure. Deforestation can also cause land pollution as the absence of tree roots makes the ground loose and prone to erosion. Soil contamination leads to diseases spreading through pests and damage to soil quality and plant growth. Environmental education and awareness campaigns can help address the problem by teaching people about protecting the environment.

2. Land pollution can be defined as
acts occurring on an area
resulting in color change, fertility, and
erosion. It is caused by waste in the form of
liquid or solid.

3. Garbage disposal and sewage
uncontrolled one of the reasons that cause
soil contamination occurs. There are two methods of
disposal
The usual method of garbage filling method and
combustion method. Though garbage can is removed
from the eyes and nose with inhalation of this method
but
without careful monitoring, both of these techniques can
also be
serious trouble for the environment.

4. In addition, the removal of toxic and nuclear waste will
also be
pollution is caused. When toxic waste and
nuclear contaminates the soil surface, then it will
result in decreased soil quality. This will impact
large to humans and the environment.
Furthermore, deforestation will also cause
soil contamination occurs. forest areas cleared for
get the timber with a handsome profit.
Deforestation will cause the soil structure to be
loose. This is due to the absence of tree roots to
grip the ground. Consequently, landslides will occur and
would endanger the lives of people who live near
the area.

5. The spread of disease germs is one of the effects
that would arise from the effects of soil contamination.
Pest animals such as rats, cockroaches and flies are
concentrated in the area and spread the disease germs
to the earlier onset of food another. if flies or
cockroaches eaten, next accidental human consumption
vulnerable people would then in turn attacked by food
poisoning and serious illness.
In addition, damage soil and its quality is the impact that
will arise when the occurrence of soil contamination.
Industry wastes and spills result from the carrier to land
damaged and less quality. Poor quality land causes the
plants or vegetables that are grown life with imperfect
and less fertile.

6. Soil erosion will also occur if soil contamination occurred.
Erosion is one phenomenon that often occurs in the country.
It is not only detrimental to the financial and economic
terms, but also threaten the security and human life, such as
landslides and earthquakes. There are many soil erosion is
threatened. Among human activities that can lead to soil
erosion is cleaning and plowing hills serum resulted in no plant
that can withstand the ground from collapsing.

7. Environmental education is one method that can be
implemented to overcome the problem of soil pollution.
Environmental education can form a positive attitude
towards the environment themselves. With the
awareness on an individual, he will be aware of the
importance of environmental quality are maintained.

8. In addition, awareness campaigns can also be done to reduce
the environmental pollution. Among environmental campaigns
that can be implemented is please love our river campaign,
recycling, and environmentally friend. During this campaign
participants will be taught about the importance of
protecting the environment, etc. .
Media exposure time is also one of the ways that can be
taken to address the issue of soil contamination. During this
day, the mass media play an important role in shaping the
thinking of all users. As such, with the availability of mass
media exposure on environmental contamination issues, the
public be very careful in dealing with pollution problems.

10. Certainly a country that is growing
rapidly and developed in various
fields. but the rapid pace of
development, many do not realize
that it also carries side effects on
the environment.
