What happens if the plants grow in a soil? What happens when the plants are eaten?

It depends on the type of soil, the type of existing toxins and severity of the contamination of the soil, to what extent or what the factory, mainly sandy soil is less likely to access the chemicals, while the soil with more organic substances such as the foam on peat is easy for contaminants, what a change in the metabolic state of the micro-organisms in the soil consists of what the poisons into the food chain.

Contamination of soils, including those that may take after the pollutants, if the small animals or people borrow dig into his chest, when the soil is dry contaminated by dust particles can be inhaled, used the opportunity of certain contaminants in Dust, are absorbed into the skin. What are the causes of contamination of soil?

Well, there are the initiation of hydrocarbons, pipeline leaks, the release of toxic land, which had previously been used to such things as factories, mines, gas stations and airports, all these have contaminated soil under them, much in the nature against leaching soil fills the field in some countries, cultures will be sprayed by "highly toxic" on the use of fertilizers, all of these things are ’cause of the contamination of soils in the world. When it comes to natural disasters such as hurricanes, earthquakes and tsunamis installations in which toxic substances, oil and other chemicals are damaged or destroyed, leaks and their introduction to the contamination of the soil, that is about 10 km. ² country in south-east of New Orleans were contaminated when more than 1 million gallons of oil durchtränkt in the soil after a hurricane destroyed some of the facilities noted.

What are the concerns and problems of health?

China has little place in the legislation for the protection of the areas to guard against the contamination of soils, unfortunately, it seems that a 10th Earth, the contamination of soils, land irrigated by polluted water, the impact of contamination of soils are devastating to the health of the population caused kidney and liver and even leukemia.

There are thousands of sites with environmental pollution in North America and also a larger number in other countries, some have not yet been recognized that the United Kingdom since many legislative measures to prevent health problems of contamination of soils, there are rules for the use of land, parks and playgrounds residential projects on the award, given how the contamination of soils.

The oil sands is a project of great concern especially for the Greens, thousands of hectares of land will be cut, the water is contaminated, many new advances in the development of measures try to be, try to ensure that environmental issues are, however, minimizes Threat. Not so long ago, more than 500 ducks were killed when they landed on one of the ponds toxic. Since the year 1970, was the entry of toxic tar dam island of earth, and more recently a leek toxic pollutants was discovered in the Athabasca River, one of the main water supply for Alberta, BP will also be a piece of cake, we have recently bought the oil sands projects. Greenpeace calls on the oil sands, the biggest crimes against the environment, the bitumen has a content of carbon higher than the oil for this purpose its emissions still refined processed and burned bigger, it would not be much, if money and resources were to use research and implementation of alternative fuel?
