    Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into the natural environment that cause adverse changes. There are several types of pollution including air, land, water, and noise pollution. Air pollution is caused by emissions from sources like factories and vehicles burning fuel. Land pollution involves contamination of soil from industrial activity or waste. Water pollution reduces the ability of bodies of water to provide ecosystem services. Noise pollution propagates noise that harms human and animal activity. All types of pollution negatively impact health and the environment.

    POLLUTION

    MADE BY DIVYA,IX-C
    WHAT IS POLLUTION?
    Pollution is the introduction of
    contaminants into the natural
    environment that cause adverse
    change. Pollution can take the
    form of any substance or energy.
    Pollutants, the components of
    pollution, can be either foreign
    substances/energies or naturally
    occurring contaminants.
    TYPES OF POLLUTION
    AIR POLLUTION
    LAND POLLUTION
    WATER POLLUTION
    NOISE POLLUTION
    WHAT IS AIR
    POLLUTION?
    Air pollution is caused by a
    combination of gaseous and
    particulate pollutants such as
    carbon dioxide, methane, and
    nitrogen dioxide emitted from point
    sources such as factories and motor
    vehicles that burn fuel. Some
    gaseous emissions are visible to the
    eye and sometimes may even diffuse
    into the atmosphere and become
    invisible. Particulate pollution, on
    the other hand, such as soot and
    black carbon, is always visible.
    WHAT IS LAND
    POLLUTION?
    Soil contamination, soil
    pollution, or land pollution as
    a part of land degradation is
    caused by the presence of no
    biotic chemicals or other
    alteration in the natural soil
    environment. It is typically
    caused by industrial activity,
    agricultural chemicals or
    improper disposal of waste.
    WHAT IS WATER POLLUTION?
    Water pollution is the
    contamination of water bodies,
    usually as a result of human
    activities, in such a manner
    that negatively affects its
    legitimate uses. Water
    pollution reduces the ability of
    the body of water to provide
    the ecosystem services that it
    would otherwise provide.
    WHAT IS NOISE
    POLLUTION?
    Noise pollution, also known as
    environmental noise or sound
    pollution, is the propagation
    of noise with ranging
    impacts on the activity of
    human or animal life, most of
    them harmful to a degree. ...
    High noise levels can contribute
    to cardiovascular effects in
    humans and an increased
    incidence of coronary artery
    disease.
    BAD EFFECTS OF POLLUTION?
    Long-term health effects from
    air pollution include heart
    disease, lung cancer, and
    respiratory diseases such as
    emphysema. Air pollution can
    also cause long-term damage
    to people's nerves, brain,
    kidneys, liver, and other
    organs. Some scientists
    suspect air pollutants cause
    birth defects
    CONCLUSION
    All type of pollution has their kind of
    negative impact on our environment.
    The lives of humans and animals get
    impacted due to this. It is our
    responsibility to take various initiatives
    to protect nature. We need to
    fight against pollution to take steps
    towards a better tomorrow.
