Soil and Water Contamination

Soil and water contamination arises when a chemical that does not degrade naturally gets into the environment. It may be spilled, leaked or improperly disposed of. When groundwater is contaminated, families and businesses that depend on wells for water are exposed to the chemical every time they drink, cook with, bathe in or otherwise use their water. Soil contamination happens when water deposits a chemical in the earth, allowing exposure through skin contact, inhalation of dust and eating vegetables grown in the contaminated ground. Likely sources of contamination include gas stations and refineries, factories and plants, dry cleaners and rail yards. It is impossible to list all the possible side effects of such contamination, but they include cancers, neurological damage, liver and kidney damage, and birth defects.
