Land Corruption of Soil Contamination

Nirmal Surendran Menon

Soil tainting or soil contamination as a feature of land corruption is brought about by the presence of xenobiotics (human-made) synthetic compounds or other modification in the normal soil climate. It is normally brought about by mechanical movement, rural synthetic substances or inappropriate removal of waste. The most well-known synthetic compounds included are oil hydrocarbons, polynuclear sweet-smelling hydrocarbons (like naphthalene and benzo(a)pyrene), solvents, pesticides, lead, and other weighty metals. Defilement is connected with the level of industrialization and force of synthetic substance.
