Land and pollution – Environment Agency

, a component of land, is considered polluted when contaminants adversely affect human health or the environment. With every step we take, we could be standing on top of a very different mix and concentration of contaminants in the ground. The large variation of contaminants, soils, and climatic and land use conditions makes it costly to ...
