In the modern world, the concept of pollution is not foreign. The development of industry, urbanization, and agriculture as well as the way of life and human needs are increasingly endangering the environment and disrupting the quality of life of the community. The most endangered component of the environment is water which is the "cradle of life" for all living organisms on Earth. The main reason for this is the ability of water to absorb a certain amount of harmful substances with which it comes into contact. With the increase in the number of inhabitants, large cities, factories and various plants, the impact became so intense that the process of self-purification of water was disabled. In addition to water the soil is also significantly endangered which can be polluted directly by direct placement of the source of pollution on the ground. Indirectly through the "carrier", e.g., polluted water. As with water one of the causes of soil pollution is the modernization of agriculture i.e., improper use of chemicals, fertilizers, pesticides, agrochemicals, etc. In the past the interest of the world's population in the consequences of pollution was small. Nowadays the awareness of the harmful consequences is growing.
