LAND POLLUTION: examples Some examples of land pollution: Litter found on the side of the road Illegal dumping in natural habitats Oil spills that happen inland The use of pesticides and other farming chemicals Damage and debris from unsustainable mining and logging practices Radiation spills or nuclear accidents

LAND POLLUTION: effects Land pollution is responsible for damage done to the natural habitat of animals, deforestation and damage done to natural resources, and the general uglying up of our communities. For the humans the effects are many problems for the skin and for the respiratory system, and sometimes also cancer.
