soil on Catalina Island
Without more context we can only take the source text at face value and assume it refers to Catalina Island, off the coast of California.
In that assumed context, the text appears to be asking what chemical compound is there in the island's soil which gets into edible plants and then into human kidneys where it (presumably) causes health problems.
