Environmental pollution Avoidance of soil pollution.

Environmental pollution refers to the degradation of environmental pollution caused by human activities, such as air, water, soil resources and living organisms. The ecological balance is affected by the addition of potentially harmful to the environment and the organisms living there.


Airborne atmospheric disorder Environmental pollution affects a wide variety of plants and animals living in the environment. The United Nations has declared that the situation is one of the ten threats currently threatening the world. Environmental pollution may be caused by some chemical substance, or by forces such as heat, light, and sound. The environment is polluted for various reasons.

Methods of pollution

Air pollution The air is polluted by the release of various chemicals and dust into the atmosphere. Examples of air pollution are carbon monoxide, sulfur ixide, chlorofluorocarbons, and nitrogen oxides emitted by modern transporters and factories.

Water pollution Water quality and aquatic life are impacted by the discharge of effluents from factories, agricultural lands, agricultural farms, and urban waste into rivers, drains and other aquifers. This affects the earth's water bodies.

Moreover, pollutants that mix in the atmosphere are mixed with rainwater and land. These go underwater and contaminate groundwater, rivers and ponds. However, these are less effective than the previous ones..

Soil contamination While industrial waste is a major contributor to this, modern farming systems contribute greatly to soil pollution. Soil is heavily affected by heavy use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides.

Radiation damage Twentieth-century events such as nuclear power generation, nuclear weapons research, and nuclear weapons production produce radioactive waste and pollute the environment.

Acoustic contamination Acoustic pollution is caused by the sound of a car on the road, the loud noise of the car sounders, the noise of the airplane.

Optical contamination These types of pollution include light intrusion, excess light, and astronomical interference.

Visual pollution Examples of this pollution include overhead wiring, large billboards placed on the roadside, affected landforms, open space debris, solid waste, and space debris.

Thermal pollution Thermal pollution is caused by the destruction of forests and carbon dioxide.
