ABSTRACT

Pollution is now the main problem for man and his survival. Waste, which can originate from any source, whether mining, industrial, biological or household, is now on the priority list of all countries? The treatment and disposal of waste is a source of local and central government concern. The methods used to dispose of waste create a new problem for society. Dumping solid waste and burying it underground pollutes the soil and handling liquid waste on the ground or in water both causes pollution. Therefore, the pollution caused by the continuous disposal of wastes underground and in the water is not only harmful to the environment, but also has a negative impact on the health of living organisms. This review aims to highlight the status of several Indian states and cities that are suffering from soil and water pollution. The review will attempt to shows oil and water standards, heavy metal status, seasonal changes in soil and water pollution, contaminated agricultural crops, pollution pathways, uses and threat to living organisms.
