“…Microbial activity may oxidize certain natural organic pollutants, however this is not the case for the majority of contaminants. Among the principal contaminants found in paddy soils are heavy metals and organic pollutants (polychlorinated biphenyls, dibenzodioxins, and polychlorinated dibenzofurans) (Ilić et al 2020;Ilić et al 2021a;2021c;2021d;Stojanović Bjelić et al 2022;Ilić et al 2022). Toxins produced by human activities may persist in the environment for extended periods of time and travel great distances.…”

A broad range of ecological issues may be traced back to agricultural soil management methods that have a significant influence on ecosystems health across the globe. Agriculture has a major influence on the environment via soil quality deterioration or degradation. There are several types i.e., salinity, erosion, water logging and soil pollution with organic and inorganic contaminants and contributing factors to soil degradation. The inclusion of sustainable development goals (SDGs) related to the soil use as zero hunger (SDG 2), decent work and economic growth (SDG 8), climate action (SDG 13), life on land (SDG 15) contributes and important in human wellbeing via producing food crops (SDG 2), increasing economic growth (SDG 8), sequestering atmospheric emissions for climate change mitigation (SDG 13), and betterment of life on earth (SDG 13). Factors include non-suitable agricultural practices, usage of wide fields without limits to impede water flow, and improper ploughing techniques. The key element to limit the soil degradation is reducing pressure on natural resources and their over-exploitation. In this chapter, authors have discussed the soil degradation, causes and their remedies in detail.

“…Осим постојећих индустријских капацитета, велики проблем за аерозагађење су и контаминиране индустријске зоне са присутним загађењем земљишта и воде, које су значајан извор специфичних загађујућих материја у животној средини (Илић и сар. 2007;Gašić et al 2010;Lammel et al 2010Lammel et al , 2010Lammel et al , 2011Stojanović Bjelić et al 2022;Ilić et al 2021bIlić et al , 2021cIlić et al , 2021dIlić et al , 2021e, 2022.

The problem of air pollution has been a challenge for modern humanity in recent times. The environment, including the air, is burdened by a large amount of pollutants that are released into the environment. The atmosphere contains primary and secondary pollutants, emitted as basic or specific pollutants. Air pollution is present in industrial areas and larger cities, with the fact that there are no areas without any impact of air pollution. Air pollution is also present in the Republic of Srpska, as is the case in other areas. Areas of increased pollution in Republic of Srpska, with high concentrations of pollution, can further worsen the impact on the population and lead to unwanted health effects.
