LAND POLLUTION

Land Pollution

Mismanagement of the land will cause is becoming a big problem. The pollution it causes are soil erosion, degradation and salinisation are just a few other problems facing the state of our land. The causes are losing 6 hectares of land every year and losing 24 billion tons of top soil. Globally we are losing a minimum of 15 million acres of prime agricultural land to overuse and mismanagement every year. Desertification is threatening about one third (sixteen million square miles) of the world’s land surface.
