In this 28th episode, I discuss What Are The Most Common Environmental Contaminates Found in Soil?
I just wanted to have a brief overview of the most. commonly found environmental contaminates found in soil. Environmental Contaminates are those that pose a risk to human and environmental health.
The most common types are Heavy Metals, Petroleum Hydrocarbons, Pesticides and Herbicides and Industry Chemicals.
Heavy Metals such as lead, arsenic, mercury, cadmium, chromium, copper, nickel.
Petroleum Hydrocarbons such as gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, motor oil and crude oil.
Pesticides and Herbicides such as inspect/pest and weed killers.
Industry Chemicals such as different types of solvents and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).
The sources of these environmental contaminates are from human uses in which spills and leaks occur allowing for them to go into the soil. Once in the soil, they can continue to spread from migration and through the help of water creating run off from rain and irrigation.
