When does land pollution occur?

Land pollution occurs when harmful substances are added to the soil, leading to its degradation and contamination. This can result from various activities, such as industrial waste disposal, agricultural practices using pesticides and fertilizers, illegal dumping, and urban development. The introduction of toxic chemicals, heavy metals, and non-biodegradable materials disrupts ecosystems and poses health risks to living organisms. Ultimately, land pollution can diminish soil quality, affect crop production, and harm biodiversity.
