$\bullet$ Soil pollution is the contamination of soil with harmful substances that can adversely affect the quality of the soil and the health of those organisms living on it.
$\bullet$There are many factors which cause soil pollution like throwing non-biodegradeable wastes onto soil, use of chemical pesticides, excessive use of fertilizers, etc.
