Impact of soil-water contaminants on tropical agriculture, animal and societal environment

Abstract

With the rise in population and the continued and rapid expansion of the economy, soil, and water the foundation for human survival, have been subjected to unprecedented pollution, posing a threat to human health. As a result, it is critical to investigate the impact of soil on human health. This study offers a unique viewpoint on the effects of environmental contamination from the perspectives of water and soil pollution. Humans, animals, and trees/plants are all affected by soil waste contamination consequently of diseases and complications. One of the most critical concerns that experts have been examining and searching for creative answers to is pollution and its direct and indirect detrimental effects on humans and animals. Therefore, present study clarifies the origins and effects of contaminants on the ecosystem. It also takes into account the problem of soil and water pollution caused by the improper treatment of factory, home, and other waste, as well as the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides that are damaging to water, and soil environment. Management of contaminants necessitates addressing a number of difficult issues, such as balancing goals of encouraging recycling while also protecting consumers from harmful chemical substances in recycled materials; insufficient data collection; quality aspects of recycling; waste energy recovery; and waste prevention. The potential mostly pertain to a shift toward a more circular economy, which has environmental and human health benefits in addition to economic ones. Waste management must become more sophisticated as we move toward a more sustainable society. Because it lacks flexibility and long-term thinking, the standard reductionist approach is unsustainable. Therefore, a sustainable waste management system integrates feedback loops, is process-oriented, embraces flexibility, and diverts trash from landfills. Identification and implementation of leverage points that impact change are necessary for transitioning to a sustainable waste management system.
