surfaces often caused by human activities and
their misuse of land resources.

nuclear wastes, industrial wastes, deforestation,
human sewage, mining and other factories and
increased mechanization. 
Causes of Land Pollution

pollution.

• The disposal of non-biodegradable wastes

• Agricultural wastes

• The process of mining.

• Improper treatment of sewage.

• Burning of solid fuels leads to the formation of ashes, which is

yet another cause of land pollution.

• Although domestic and industrial wastes are collected and

recycled or burnt in incinerators, a large amount of rubbish is
left untreated. These are then dumped into grounds, leading
to land pollution.

• Garbage dumped by people makes the streets unhealthy,

unfit and dirty to reside in.
