The wastewater discharged from industrial "three wastes" contains heavy metal poisons such as lead and cadmium, which can cause chronic cadmium poisoning (pain) and lead poisoning through rice after irrigation; Chronic arsenic poisoning and mercury poisoning caused by pesticide pollution in soil containing arsenic and mercury; After "three wastes" and pesticides pollute the soil, surface water and groundwater are polluted by rainwater, and people can cause poisoning through drinking water, food and livestock feed.
② Inducing cancer
Recent studies have further confirmed that cadmium, phenoxy herbicides and chlorophenol pesticides have carcinogenic effects on people. The soil is contaminated by radioactivity. External irradiation and internal irradiation (through respiratory tract and digestive tract) can not only induce cancer, but also lead to dizziness, fatigue, alopecia and leukopenia or increase.
③ spreading diseases.
Soil polluted by feces, garbage and sewage containing pathogens can become the transmission medium of related diseases, such as typhoid fever, paratyphoid fever, dysentery and tuberculosis. There are also tetanus, gas gangrene, botulinum and so on. It can survive in soil for a long time and become an important source of infection for people infected with these diseases.
