Soil improvement and environmental pollution

Soil improvement and environmental pollution

1. The soil constitutes an open system, with atmospheric type inputs and outputs that can be surface, in the form of runoff and erosion. For On the other hand, in the very body of the soil, a series of transformations that involve the presence of microorganisms, water, roots, exchange of gases, decomposition and neoformations, among many other processes

2. Among the main human activities that induce soil degradation in the field are found in agricultural production systems, while in cities, constructions and solid waste deposits generate also a drastic impact on the quality of said resource.

3. It is important to remember that soil erosion processes, both hydric and wind, affect mainly the surface horizons, where biogeochemical cycles favor concentration of organic matter, nutrients and a high and diverse presence of microorganisms

4. Correct disposal of products and stores of polluting substances. Store products in areas of the building protected from rain. Protection of all tanks and reservoirs with retention buckets. Leak detection systems in tanks and reservoirs.
