Why is soil compared to a living organism? What is the danger of soil pollution?

Soil is a non-living organism. A biologist would never say something like that. You cannot even compare the soil with a living organism. Soil is the habitat of many living organisms, it is a product that is formed for a very long time thanks to some bacteria and animals. Soil contamination can lead to groundwater poisoning, crop decline, death of underground and terrestrial animals, plants and fungi. You can learn more about the dangers of soil pollution in the book “Soil pollution and the latest technologies for their restoration.”
