    POLLUTION

    WHAT IS POLLUTION ?

    Pollution can be defined as the introduction of


    unwanted harmful substances into the earth that
    brings adverse effects on the environment and
    living organisms. It can destroys the ecological
    balance. There are many types of environmental
    pollution. For example air pollution, water pollution,
    soil pollution, noise pollution and thermal pollution.
    AIR POLLUTION
    Air pollution can be defined as the mixing of harmful
    gases and particles in the atmosphere.
    It is caused by the release of toxic gases, chemicals, and
    other things that can float and combine with air molecule.
    The impact of air pollution can be different for people
    based on their age or immunity level.
    Air pollution make our lives become worse by causing
    global warming, acid rain, ozone depletion and increasing
    the risk of cancer, respiratory diseases and skin
    diseases.
    WATER POLLUTION

    Water pollution is caused by the unorganised waste


    management of human beings.
    Contaminants are throw by human into the water
    bodies when doing activities like disposing of
    untreated industrial sewages, agricultural runoffs
    with fertilisers and dumping of solid wastes.
    Water pollution is a great threat to marine life.
    Disrupting marine life affects our food cycle and
    damages our ecosystem.
    SOIL POLLUTION

    Pollution of soil due to the presence of chemicals or other


    harmful particles is called soil pollution. It, directly and
    indirectly, affects our lives.
    Excessive use of chemicals like pesticides and fertilisers for
    agricultural production, improper waste disposal, and acid
    rain are some of the major causes of soil pollution.
    As a result of soil pollution, the soil loses its fertility and
    damage natural vegetation. It adversely affects the
    organisms residing in the soil, degrades agricultural
    productivity, and even results in famine.
    NOISE POLLUTION
    Noise pollution is caused by the excessive amounts of noise in our
    environment. It is generally man-made, and it badly affects the
    natural balance of our ecosystem.
    Any sound which is over 85 decibels is harmful to human health.Due
    to globalisation and industrialisation, the level of noise pollution in
    our environment has increased drastically.
    Some of the main contributors to noise pollution are machinery used
    in industries, noise emitted by vehicles, sounds produced during
    construction work, noise during public festivals and social events.
    Noise pollution has become a major issue for many developed and
    developing nations. As a consequence, people are facing sleeping
    disorders, hearing loss, hypertension and stress-related illnesses.
    THERMAL POLLUTION

    Thermal pollution is caused by the sudden increase or


    decrease of the temperature of a natural body of water.
    Industrial machinery and power plants are the major
    contributors to thermal pollution. For the process of cooling
    machinery, water from nature is collected and used.
    But after this mechanism, the temperature of the water
    gets altered. By pumping back the water, the thermal
    balance of the natural source of water becomes affected
    and results in thermal pollution. It changes the oxygen level
    and destroys ecosystems.
    All this pollution has had a great impact on
    our lives. Many environmental disaster like
    global warming, acid rain, famine or
    starvation, drought and earthquakes are
    the returns given to us by earth for our
    greed. If we continue to pollute, then be
    ready to face the end.
    THAT’S ALL
