Ecosystem effectssoil contaminants can have significant deleterious

consequences for ecosystems. There are radical soil chemistry changes which can arise from the presence

of many hazardous chemicals even at low concentration of the contaminant species.

Solution on soil pollution:• Plantation of tree• use natural fertilizer • proper waste management
