Other types of soil contamination typically arise from radioactive fallout, the rupture of underground storage tanks, percolation of contaminated surface water to subsurface strata, leaching of wastes from landfills or direct discharge of industrial wastes to the soil, unfavorable and harmful irrigation practices, improper septic system and management and maintenance, leakages from sanitary sewage, acid rain falling onto the soil, fuel leakages Read more: Soil Pollution - Everything Connects
