EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This research focus on awareness and preparedness among individual in many aspects to
face a contamination of soil.
A Soil pollution is defined as “an epidemic occurring worldwide or over a very wide area,
crossing international boundaries and usually effecting a large number of lands” Millions of plants
die during soil pollution. But we can prevent it as it is a manmade or natural disaster but so how to
prevent it? The only answer is ‘by having proper knowledge and awareness’.so this study mainly
focuses on the awareness and preparedness that saves and individual by deadly growing diseases
every day. this research covers different aspects of awareness and preparedness such as Mental
preparedness, Physical preparedness, social preparedness, environmental preparedness, and finally
financial preparedness. The object objective of the study is to make people practice preparedness and
know the importance of awareness so they can save from severe environmental pollution. The
researcher has collected the data from a minimum number of respondence to know the level of
awareness in the nearby local area. Hence the topic is chosen recording awareness and preparedness
which can totally prevent pandemic before its dangerous arrival the data collected through primary
data has helped the researcher to interrupt the findings. The researcher as also suggested somethings
to prevent the climate change and has also mentioned the mitigation strategies. This study mainly
concentrates on Implementing the knowledge G recording proper awareness about soil contamination
and the things we need to do to prevent them, also have to face them among people from a earlier
stage. This will help them to face the soil pollution with proper steps and precautions.
Implementations of this one step will uplift the whole next generations thereby developing the
Nations. We hope that this research makes readers realize the importance of having proper awareness
and knowledge and necessity of being prepared which place on important role then fighting with it
afterwards. After all, it is always” Prevention is better than cure”

AROUND SRINIVASA FINE ARTS
ADVERSE IMPACT OF SOIL POLLUTION AROUND SRINIVASA FINE ARTS
1.1. Introduction
Soil pollution is defined as the presence of toxic chemicals (pollutants or
contaminants) in soil, in high enough concentrations to pose a risk to human health and/or the
ecosystem. In the case of contaminants which occur naturally in soil, even when their levels are not
high enough to pose a risk, soil pollution is still said to occur if the levels of the contaminants in soil
exceed the levels that should naturally be present. All soils, whether polluted or unpolluted, contain a
variety of compounds (contaminants) which are naturally present. Such contaminants include metals,
inorganic ions and salts (e.g. phosphates, carbonates, sulfates, nitrates), and many organic
compounds (such as lipids, proteins, DNA, fatty acids, hydrocarbons, PAHs, alcohols, etc.). These
compounds are mainly formed through soil microbial activity and decomposition of organisms (e.g.,
plants and animals). Additionally, various compounds get into the soil from the atmosphere, for
instance with precipitation water, as well as by wind activity or other types of soil disturbances, and
from surface water bodies and shallow groundwater flowing through the soil. When the amounts of
soil contaminants exceed natural levels (what is naturally present in various soils), pollution is
generated.

1.2. Conceptual Definition

1.2.1. Mining: Mining activities have been occurring for thousands of years. Mining is a potential
major source of trace elements, not just from the mining operation itself, but mostly due to wastes and
emissions during the processing of the extracted materials such as tailings, waste rock deposits and
smelting operations.
1.2.2. Agrochemicals: The crop protection industry has continuously grown in past decades
(Nishimoto, 2019). In most developed countries agrochemical manufacture is highly regulated and
controlled to minimize its impact. The manufacturing processes tend to generate significant quantities
of emissions and wastes that need to be managed in an environmentally sound manner using best
available techniques. In less well-regulated countries these emissions and wastes continue to pose a
threat to soil health.
1.2.3. Plastic Manufacturing: Plastics are widely used in practically all manufacturing industries as
containers and packaging, and eventually end up as waste that needs to be managed in an
environmentally sound manner. Although the contribution of plastic waste to the total amount of solid
waste generated worldwide is only about 12 percent (data for the year 2016, (Kaza et al., 2018)), it has
a large impact on the environment and human health due to its chemical composition and virtually no
biodegradation.
1.2.4. Industrial Accidents: Crude petroleum spills have immediate negative effects on soils due the
toxicity of PHCs to soil dwelling organisms as well as, at very high concentrations, due to the
formation of an impermeable surface, which prevents water and gas exchange into the soil, and
between soil and air. In this new anaerobic condition, plant roots tend to suffocate, while the number of
bacteria and their metabolic activity decreases.
1.2.5. Pharmaceutical Manufacture: The production of polychlorinated biphenyls was banned when
the Stockholm Convention came into force in 2004. However, manufacturing sites have been found
polluted up to a distance of 70 km, affecting local populations. Similarly, pollution of soils and the
environment is observed around production sites of chlorinated paraffins which have substituted PCBs
in many uses. Pharmaceutical industries are responsible for pollution due to releases into the
environment of substances containing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and other related
chemical substances via atmospheric emissions, effluents and solid wastes.
1.3. Review of literature
Abstracts
1.3.1. Aneta Zwolak, Magdalena Sarzyńska, Ewa Szpyrka & Kinga Stawarczyk in their article
“Sources of Soil Pollution by Heavy Metals and Their Accumulation in Vegetables: a Review”.
Due to their properties such as toxicity, persistence, and non-biodegradation, contamination with
metals has become a serious and widespread environmental threat, particularly in urban areas (Yang-
Guang et al. 2016).

The problem of heavy metals stems out not only from their toxic properties but also from their ability
to accumulate in the body, as it is a case with all elements listed above. At low levels of exposure to
these elements, clinical signs do not manifest immediately and their effects can be observed only at
the physiological or biochemical level (Wojciechowska-Mazurek et al. 2008).

1.3.2. Tom Bruulsema in his article named “Managing nutrients to mitigate soil pollution” he says
that, the health of soils is key not only to agricultural productivity, but to all the ecosystem services
provided in terms of maintaining the quality of water, air, and food. Nutrient inputs to agricultural
soils produce large benefits to human health, including the provisioning of calories and protein
supporting at least half the human population, enhancing micronutrient bioavailability in food,
improving crop quality, and strengthening tolerance to plant disease. With appropriate nutrient
stewardship, such inputs contribute to soil health and prevent soil degradation. When mismanaged
and applied inappropriately, either mineral or organic sources of nutrients can become pollutants both
in soils and in water and air. The solution being embraced by industry and governments around the
world is the implementation of principles of 4R Nutrient Stewardship, ensuring that the right source
of nutrient is applied at the right time, in the right place and at the right rate.
1.3.3. Natalia Rodríguez Eugenio, Michael McLaughlin, Daniel Pennock in his book named Soil
Pollution: A Hidden Reality says in every region of the world, one can find numerous instances of
the “presence in the soil of a chemical or substance out of place and/or present at a higher than
normal concentration that has adverse effects on any non-targeted organism.” This soil pollution is
increasingly the cause of major societal concern, and policy makers at all levels are more and more
recognizing that it urgently needs to be addressed. In this context, in May 2018, the Global
Symposium on Soil Pollution (GSOP18) was held in the FAO headquarters in Rome, with over 500
participants from 100 different countries. The leitmotif of the symposium, “It is time to fight soil
pollution: Be the solution to soil pollution,” stressed the extreme urgency to protect soil, emphasized
the fact that soil contamination is a hidden danger beneath out feet. The filtering, buffering, and
attenuation capacities of soils have been widely documented in many situations, but so is the fact that
these capacities are finite; If and when they get exceeded, human health, as well as water- and food
quality, may all become threatened.
1.3.4. J.J. Steffan, E.C. Brevik, The effect of soil on human health says Soil has a considerable
effect on human health, whether those effects are positive or negative, direct or indirect. Soil is an
important source of nutrients in our food supply and medicines such as antibiotics. However, nutrient
imbalances and the presence of human pathogens in the soil biological community can cause
negative effects on health. There are also many locations where various elements or chemical
compounds are found in soil at toxic levels, because of either natural conditions or anthropogenic
activities. The soil of urban environments has received increased attention in the last few years, and
they too pose a number of human health questions and challenges. Concepts such as soil security
may provide a framework within which issues on soil and human health can be investigated using
interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approaches. It will take the contributions of experts in several
different scientific, medical and social science fields to address fully soil and human health issues.
Although much progress was made in understanding links between soil and human health over the
last century, there is still much that we do not know about the complex interactions between them.
Therefore, there is still a considerable need for research in this important area.

1.3.5. Ezio Ranieri, Fabian Bombardelli, Petros Gikas, and Bernardino Chiaia in their article

Soil Pollution Prevention and Remediation Soil pollution probably represents the most faced
problem in environmental pollution. This is because soil is a point of concentration and recovery of
toxic compounds, chemicals, salts, radioactive materials, or disease-causing agents, which have
adverse effects on plant growth and animal health. Soil pollutants can contaminate water: water
infiltration is the movement of water from the soil surface into the soil profile and soil is a valuable
resource that support cultures and plant life. Soil pollution is the decrease in the productivity of soil
due to the presence of soil pollutants. Moreover, soil pollutants have an adverse effect on the
physical, chemical, and biological properties of the soil and reduce its productivity.

Main causes of soil pollution are as follows: industrial activity, especially since the amount of mining
and manufacturing has increased; agricultural activities, pesticides and fertilizers which are full of
chemicals that are not fully degradable in nature and are widely utilized around the world; waste
disposal, where there is also a large amount of industrial and municipal waste that is dumped directly
into landfills without any treatment; and accidental oil spills, where oil leaks can happen during
storage and transport of chemicals.

1.4. Background of study

Soil contamination or soil pollution as a part of land degradation is caused by the
presence of xenobiotic (human-made) chemicals or other alteration in the natural soil environment. It
is typically caused by industrial activity, agricultural chemicals or improper disposal of waste. The
most common chemicals involved are petroleum hydrocarbons, polynuclear aromatic
hydrocarbons (such as naphthalene and benzo(a)pyrene), solvents, pesticides, lead, and other heavy
metals. Contamination is correlated with the degree of industrialization and intensity of chemical
substance. The concern over soil contamination stems primarily from health risks, from direct contact
with the contaminated soil, vapour from the contaminants, or from secondary contamination of water
supplies within and underlying the soil. [1] Mapping of contaminated soil sites and the resulting
cleanups are time-consuming and expensive tasks, requiring extensive amounts
of geology, hydrology, chemistry, computer modeling skills, and GIS in Environmental
Contamination, as well as an appreciation of the history of industrial chemistry. [2]
In North America and Western Europe the extent of contaminated land is best known,
with many of countries in these areas having a legal framework to identify and deal with this
environmental problem. Developing countries tend to be less tightly regulated despite some of them
having undergone significant industrialization.

1.5. Statement of the problem

Because of soil pollution around Sivakasi affects farming land and farmers suffering a lot.
And microbes and bacteria also spread by burning the wastes, children and old age people affected by
some diseases like asthma, respiratory problems. It directly affects lungs and increase the chance of
affecting by corona virus. Even human being can’t pass through that place normally. Soil
contamination affects the nature of the soil and it leads to soil infertility. We can do agriculture only
with the help of healthy soil, otherwise it couldn’t happen.

1.6. Objectives of research

» To analyze the awareness and understand the level of serious impact among the surrounding citizens.
» To study the daily activities that can collectively make a big difference and that each Individual
has a role to play in the fight against soil pollution and

» To suggest measures to undertake these small, significant changes to their daily routine.

» To create a better environment for agriculture and to prevent soil contamination.

1.7. Scope of research

By reducing soil contamination, our environment should be clean and safe to lead a healthy life.
It doesn’t spoil the ground water, so that water scarcity will fall down.
In India, agriculture is the backbone of our country. If we take necessary steps to reduce the soil
pollution, agro-based industry should be peak in our country. In general w would need less fertilizer
and pesticides if we could all adopt the three R’s: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. This would give us a less
solid waste.
Materials such as glass containers, plastic bags, paper, cloth etc. can be reused at domestic
levels rather than being disposed, reducing solid waste pollution. Crossing of land loss and soil erosion
can be attempted through restoring forest and grass cover to check wastelands, soil erosion and floods.
Crop rotation or mixed cropping can improve the fertility of the land.

1.8. Research Design

Include modelling is then used to convert polluted land into clean land flows Descriptive
research aims to accurately and systematically describe a soil pollution, Situation or phenomenon. It
can answer what, where, when and how questions, but not why Questions. A descriptive research
design can use a wide variety of research methods to Investigate one or more variables.
The methodology involves using various models to estimate the impact of polluted level
in the environment. The various models generate estimates of the future level of pollution.

1.9. Sources of data

Primary data
Photos, Clippings of the polluted land are the primary source of data. You can see the
wastes with the help of your naked eyes.

Secondary data
Newspapers are the secondary source of data. With the information of people crossover
the location.

1.10. Target area of coverage

India is now reaping what it had sown decades ago. Prolonged use of toxic industrial chemicals
in electrical equipment have contaminated the country’s soil, air and possibly water, finds a new study.
 According to an analysis of soil samples from Goa and six cities including New Delhi and
Mumbai, the average concentration of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in Indian soil was almost
twice the amount found globally 12 ng/g (nanogram per gram) dry weight as against 6ng/g. The study
was carried out by the SRM University (Tamil Nadu) in collaboration with international institutes.

1.11. Impacts on natural environment

i) Soil pollution affects everything
The food we eat, the water we drink, the air we breathe – our health and the health of all the
organisms on the planet is dependent on healthy soil. The nutrient content of a plant’s tissues is directly
related to the nutrient content of the soil an its ability to exchange nutrients and water with the plant’s
roots.
ii) Soil pollution is invincible
Today, one third of our soils are moderately or highly degraded due to erosion, loss of soil
organic carbon, Salinization, compaction, acidification and chemical pollution. It takes about 1000
years to form 1 cm of top soil, meaning that we won’t be able to produce more soil within our lifetime.
What we see is all there is. Yet, soils are facing more pressure from soil pollution. The current rate of
degradation threatens the capacity of future generations to meet their most basic needs.
iii) Soil pollution affects food security
By reducing crop yields and quality. Safe, nutritious and good quality food can only be
produced if our soils are healthy. Without healthy soils, we won’t be able to produce enough food to
achieve #ZeroHunger.
iv) Soil pollution can put our health at risk
A significant proportion of antibiotics, used widely in agriculture and human healthcare, are
released into the environment after being excreted from the organism to which they are administered.
These antibiotics can seep into our soils and spread throughout the environment. This creates
antimicrobial resistant bacteria, which decreases the effectiveness of antibiotics. Each year around 700
000 deaths are attributable to antimicrobial resistant bacteria. By 2050, if not talked, it will kill more
people than cancer and cost globally more than size of the current global economy.
v) Soil pollution can be a result of poor agricultural practices
Unsustainable agricultural practices reduce soil organic matter, compromising soils’ capacity to
degrade organic pollutants. This increases the risk of pollutants being released into the environment. In
many countries, intensive crop production has depleted the soil, jeopardizing our ability to maintain
production in these areas in the future. Sustainable agriculture production practices have therefore
become imperative for reversing the trend of soil degradation and ensuring current and future global
food security.

1.11. Strength of the study

 Helping avoid the runaway costs of soil pollution. Enhancing national and global security.
Preserving vital eco system and spices. Conserving water resource and clean water. The benefits are
urban climate actions from green jobs and growth, to active, happier lives and cleaner air and water-
have an immediate, tangible impact on people lives.

1.12. Limitations of the research

1. The present research is covered restricted only within India.

2. The time duration of topic coverage is low.

3.The information of soil pollution research is many instances difficult to access.

4. The results of research the human faced on the new technology and challenge for Survival.

1.14. Summary of the analysis

We have collected primary data from 15 respondence. So, we were able to extract much
data like we were able to collect data from 3 difference age group people and everyone had different
views and different knowledge. We got know about the medium which plays vital role in transferring
knowledge and awareness. We also enquired respondence and knew about thus steps which
respondence are following regularly to face the pollution. They personally told us about the problems
which they were facing and the steps taken by them. As mentioned earlier people are following
different things to face the soil contamination and air pollution. We also met people who were
government officials, who were homemaker, who were the senior citizens of India. Everyone
practices the different things and look the necessary steps to face the soil pollution. Homemakers
followed the steps which could save the whole family etc.

v) Majority of respondence have lungs related problems (46.67%)

vi) Majority of respondence say Yes to damage to surroundings (100%)

vii) Majority of respondence are suffered by contamination of groundwater (66.67%)

1.16. Suggestions

 By reducing the use of plastics, we can reduce soil pollution.

 By controlling the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, we can control soil pollution.
 Treating industrial waste before releasing.
 Recycling and Reuse of wastes: To minimize soil pollution, the wastes such as paper,
plastics, metals, glasses, organics, petroleum products and industrial effluents etc.  should be
recycled and reused.
 Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.
 Reduce the number of trips you take in your car.
 Reduce or eliminate fireplace and wood stove use.
 Avoid burning leaves, trash, and other materials.
 Avoid using gas-powered lawn and garden equipment.

1.17. Conclusion
Soil pollution is real, and its first impacts are already being felt. It will first affect the
people and food systems that are already vulnerable, but over time the geographic distribution of risk
and vulnerability is likely to shift. Certain livelihood groups need immediate support, but everybody
is at risk. • Soil pollution is already affecting food security and it is expected to have even greater
impacts in coming years. Human-induced contamination of land has contributed to changing patterns
of extreme environment conditions across the globe, from longer and hotter heat waves to heavier
rains. From a broad perspective, all weather events are now connected to environment conditions
which is altered by human activities.
Thus, to reduce the soil pollution we should develop some steps for the prevention. We
must avoid unnecessary use of plastics, plant plenty of trees and recycle the objects and make
absolute use of non- conventional energy sources.
