Answer: Soil contamination

Step-by-step explanation:

A landfill is an area somewhere far from the living area where all the wastes can be disposed off in a pit.

A large pit is dig and the waste materials are put into it. After that the waste is being accomplished with a covering of soil on the top and the bottom layer is first lined so that the waste does not reaches the ground water.

A clay liner is used in order to protect the environment from being contaminated.

The soil of that particular area is contaminated and hence is not useful.
