Soil pollution is defined as the build-up in soils of persistent toxic compounds, chemicals, salts, radioactive materials, or disease causing agents, which have adverse effects on plant growth and animal health Soil is the thin layer of organic and inorganic materials that covers the Earths rocky surface The organic portion, Which is derived from the decayed remains of plants and animals is concentrated in the dark uppermost topsoil The inorganic portion made up of rock fragments, was formed over thousands of years by physical and chemical weathering of bedrock Productive soils are necessary for agriculture to supply the world with sufficient food soil erosion implies that the soil run off with force of water and erosion can be done by the removal of material movement of rock particles etc.
