It took 30 years for Love Canal to be inhabitable again after twenty-two barrels of toxic waste were dumped into its waters in the late 1970s. Land pollution has greatly increased over the past several decades. Climate change has caught the attention of the world with very recent statistics of ice glaciers, ice gaps, and ice sheets melting metric tons of ice back into the water. This has surfaced many bad signals of global warming and climate change. We began questioning who? Why? What? Where? and How? these incidents were happening. We started blaming pollution caused by humans affecting earths ozone and atmospheric layers. But, exactly what type of pollution has affected earths atmospheric layers the most? Land pollution has become one of the leading causes for deforestation, industrialization, agricultural activities, landfills, and industrial waste.
Deforestation is one of the most harmful land pollution kinds. Twenty- seven percent of deforestation is caused by commodity-driven companies. Some of the top productions of commodities provoking deforestation are energy (most oils, gasoline, methane, etc.), mineral mining, and livestock. Wildfires have had a recent soar. As of 2019, more than two million acres of forest in the Amazon rainforest have burned. California has also been a victim of wildfires having lost 8.8 million acres of land in 2018. Shifting Agriculture also plays a role in deforestation. Cutting down trees for short-term agriculture, then later burning the cropped harvest for later reuse. In some cases the burned land is no longer harvestable leaving dead acres of land of eroded soil. Forestry, a popular niche for building and carving beautiful natural countertops cause harm to earth.
With industrialization rapidly growing, more and more problems have surged. Since the creation of the assembly line, companies have found new ways to improve their production speed by building a mass quantity of factories running on fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are notorious for emitting Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) into the air causing great harm to the public health, more so the atmosphere. Innovation can get quite expensive, so we save money using old techniques because they work and get the job done but produce a huge number of unwanted wastes. Machinery is not always secure, we have seen many plantations break down harming the environment around them. Take for example oil spills in seas and the effect is does to water and marine life. The lack of government policies is also a big reason why large corporations can build many factories. Most of the reasons mentioned are for profit and is always a good thing to be aware of what capitalism can do.
Agricultural activities are a big slice of the cake of the land pollution percentage. In recent years, many farmers have used genetically modified fertilizers and pesticides (GMFP) to get better production rates off their harvest. Therefore, these genetically modified fertilizers and pesticides chemical compounds are unknown to nature. Fertilizer and pesticides that did not make it to the harvest, become absorbed by the land, later contaminating the soil. Like humans and animals eat, the great majority of harvest that we eat has GMFP, so we also become contaminated. Sedimentation and soil erosion are also a bad example of bad farming practice that cause soil to be unusable and wasted land. With the help of existing agricultural pollution, sedimentation is the cause of soil not being able to reach land. The harvest of new and so called exotic crops have pests, weeds, and diseases that we are not yet aware of how to fight off. Agriculture has an extremely high demand for freshwater. Not all sources of freshwater have clean filtered water. Some sources have contaminated water to filter that does not fully get filtered to be labeled freshwater, creating a chain effect when using this water for agriculture.
Landfills contribution to land pollution is self-explanatory. With incineration being an easy way to get rid of waste, air pollution emitted is hugely harmful to our environment and humans. Agriculture waist that is burned down from landfills are highly toxic and in long terms, if there is still waste from agriculture from the past burning, there could be serious soil problems. Over population is already a problem as it is. Making more waste means building more landfills, so on and so forth. Sewage pipes also make their way into the landfill topic. In Europe toilets were getting clogged everywhere, the cause; the sewages were getting clogged with solid waste, Landfills are just outright not good for this earth in general. There should be a better solution to dispose of waist.
Illegal dumping of toxic waste into rivers, lakes, and other forms of water, is the worst thing a factory or industry can do to nature. The obvious effect of toxic waste is water pollution, the easiest and deadliest way of polluting water. There have been cases of animals dying from drinking from intoxicated water streams, including my chihuahua. In the long run of things, dumping toxins and other forms of chemicals into waters is the future mutation of animals and plants. There has been reports of people developing cancer after being exposed to toxins being leaked somewhere in there nearby living areas. However, some companies do send toxins to other countries that can handle such power and dispose of it.
Humans can withstand only so much, before experiencing severe life-threatening illnesses. Land pollution effects human in such a way that we end up having a lack of oxygen in our atmosphere that we begin to have breathing problems. We start to develop illnesses like cancer, skin conditions, disorders, contamination, and many more lifetime limiting problems. With harvest becoming contaminated we have seen child defects at birth due to high lead exposure, even if it is only a small amount. We cannot afford to continue in this path.
Climate change and global warming has been the focus of many lately. If we continue in this way, we will pay the consequences of losing oxygen. All these causes combined make up the problem of the greenhouse effect. Agriculture has covered more than 70 percent of Nitrous Oxide (NO2) into our ozone resulting in the breakdown of atmospheric layers and letting more heavy hitting sun rays into earth. Land pollution at this rate is no good for us, it is estimated that we have eleven months to work with before we have irreversible damage.
Having land pollution is good, it’s almost like a vaccine for the earth, however, it becomes very dangerous and life threatening when there is an excessive amount of land pollution. For the same reason why having deforestation, industrialization, agricultural activities, landfills, and industrial waste is an easy way of hurting the public health and our environment. Making and not using unfertile land is no good. Using old methods of mass production is never going to result in a good way if you never change. Having to use genetically modified fertilizers to better harvest rates will never result in the long run and dumping toxins into land is nowhere near good. Maybe mother nature is going to become rogue and will kill us all, clean up earth, and there will be a new species of human beings.
