Effects on Human Beings

Human health can be influenced by soil in both positive and negative ways. Healthy soils give plants the nutrients and clean water they require to produce our nutrient-dense food.

The combustion of fossil fuels from a range of sources, such as electricity, cars, airlines, space heating, manufacturing, or the ocean, is responsible for many of the human behaviours that lead to a hotter atmosphere. Overconsumption occurs when resource consumption exceeds the ecosystem’s sustainable capacity. The ecological and footprint, the resource is accounting approach that the balances and human demand on the ecosystems with the amounts of planets is matter ecosystems and can replenish. According to the estimates humanity’s current demand is 70 percent higher than the combined regeneration rate of all of the planet’s ecosystems. Environmental and the degradation and eventual resource is depletion resulting in the long-term practice of the overconsumption. Their way of life (including overall wealth and resource consumption) and the pollution they produce (including carbon footprint) are both significant.

    The short term effects of human exposure to polluted soil include

    • When the concentration of pollutants on the surface reaches such a high level that it destroys land biodiversity and puts people’s health in jeopardy, notably through food. Chemicals, pesticides, and the fertilisers are uses in activities and like stock the breeding and intensive is farming, which was pollute the land
    • According to the Food and Agricultural Organisation of the United Nations, soil pollution is a global threat and that this is particularly and severely in the regions such as Europe and, Eurasia, Asia, and North Africa (FAO)
    • Specific pollution: caused by specific causes, occuring in small areas, and with easily identifiable causes. This type of the contamination is commonly found in cities, and abandoned industry sites, and along highways, and the illicit dumping, and sewage treatment plants
    • Widespread pollution is a problem that affects a large area and has a number of causes that are difficult to pinpoint. These types of cases involve the spread of contaminants across air-ground-water systems, and which has major consequences for human health and environmentalists are Industry, mining, and military activities

    A variety of long term ailments have been linked to soil pollution

    • Human health can be influenced by soil in both positive and negative ways. Healthy soils give plants the nutrients and clean water they require to produce our nutrient-dense food. People are becoming more aware of the impact of their diet on their overall health
    • Governments are also aware of the impact of diet on economic productivity and population health over time. However, we examine the complete life cycle of the food we eat, focusing on the quality of the last processing phases rather than the soil’s health
    • Multiple antibiotic compounds and other chemicals needed in the production of various medications and vaccines can be found in healthy soils. Recently, a new family of antibiotics produced by soil microorganisms with no known resistance was discovered
    • Furthermore, pharmaceuticals and veterinary medicines enter soils from a variety of sources, including improper disposal of expired medicines, urban and industrial waste, application of treated animal manure to the soil, wastewater irrigation

    Exposure to high levels of lead can result in permanent damage to the nervous system

    • The peripheral nervous system (particularly motor nerves) and the central nervous system are both affected by lead. Adults are more affected by peripheral nervous system impacts, while children are more affected by central nervous system effects
    • Lead poisoning has been linked to learning disabilities in young children, and children with blood lead levels greater than 10 g/dL are at risk of developmental disabilities
    • Reduced intelligence, nonverbal reasoning, short-term memory, attention, reading and arithmetic ability, fine motor skills, emotional regulation, and social engagement have all been linked to elevated blood lead levels in children
    • The effects of lead on children’s cognitive abilities occur at very low concentrations. The dose-response relationship appears to have no lower limit

    Conclusion

    The combustion of fossil fuels from a range of sources, such as electricity, cars, airlines, space heating, manufacturing, or the ocean, is responsible for many of the human behaviours that lead to a hotter atmosphere. The ecological and footprint, the resource is accounting approach that the balances and human demand on the ecosystems with the amounts of planets is matter ecosystems and can replenish, they can be used to calculate its. According to the estimates humanity’s current demand is 70 percent higher than the combined regeneration rate of all of the planet’s ecosystems. Environmental and the degradation and eventual resource is depletion resulting forms a the long-term practised of the overconsumption.
