The Effect of Soil on Human Health
Received Date: Jan 07, 2023 / Published Date: Jan 31, 2023
Abstract
Regardless of whether those effects are positive or negative, direct or indirect, soil has a significant impact on human health. Our food supply and medicines like antibiotics come from soil, which is a significant source of nutrients. However, imbalances in nutrient levels and the presence of human pathogens in the soil’s biological community can harm health. Additionally, there are numerous locations where soil contains toxic levels of various elements or chemical compounds due to either natural conditions or human activities. In recent years, more attention has been paid to the soil of urban environments, which also poses a number of health-related issues. Issues pertaining to soil and human health may be investigated using interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary methods within the framework of concepts like soil security.
