Soil is a fundamental component of the environment that supports life by providing nutrients, water, and a medium for plant growth. However, human activities have increasingly contributed to soil pollution, which refers to the contamination of soil by harmful substances that adversely affect its quality and productivity. Among the major contributors to soil pollution are agricultural practices, industrial activities, urbanization, and nuclear waste disposal. Each of these sources introduces different types of pollutants into the soil, leading to degradation of soil health and posing serious risks to human health and ecosystems. Agricultural activities are one of the leading contributors to soil pollution, primarily due to the extensive use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, and insecticides. While these inputs are used to increase crop yield and protect plants from pests and diseases, their excessive and improper application leads to accumulation of toxic substances in the soil. Chemical fertilizers, especially those containing nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, can alter the natural nutrient balance of the soil. Over time, this disrupts the microbial ecosystem and reduces soil fertility. Pesticides and insecticides often contain persistent organic pollutants that do not easily degrade. These chemicals can remain in the soil for long periods, entering the food chain through crops and affecting human and animal health. Additionally, irrigation practices in agriculture can contribute to soil pollution through salinization and waterlogging. Poor drainage systems lead to the accumulation of salts in the soil, making it less suitable for plant growth. The use of untreated or contaminated water for irrigation further introduces harmful substances such as heavy metals into the soil. Industrial activities contribute significantly to soil pollution through the release of hazardous wastes and chemicals. Industries such as mining, manufacturing, chemical processing, and metallurgy produce large quantities of solid
