I found an article which talks about soil pollution. According to the article the main cause of soil pollution is war, because many countries suffered from food shortage after world war. As a result, they used fertilization and other chemicals in order to increase their food production. One of these chemicals was DDT. Also in 1970's the Americans used the Dioxin in the Vietnam War.

The Glass industry is another source of soil pollution because they use Arsenic which is a very poison material.

This article has some background information that might be useful, but I'm concerned about the source. What is the source for this article? Is it a newspaper article? Is it an official website? Who is the author? Is this source a reputable news source?

I think it would be useful for you to find another article about pollution. You may consider looking at mpr.org. Last week during the election, MN voters decided to raise their own taxes to help protect water and soil from pollution. It would be interesting for us to learn more about this because it is very current news and related to your topic!

Oh! Abdu. Good job!
But, I agree with alyss's opinion because your source is not very clear enough. Anyway, you found a very useful information about soil pollution. The main problem of soil pollution is various kinds of toxic chemical. We should more care about our environment for the future. Do you want to do something for our environment?
