AIR POLLUTION:

This tern is not something new, it has been existing since he time of industrial revolution where in big
chimneys are pointed out in the air which releases harmful gases into the atmosphere. This
phenomenon has been increasing since then as the industries have been developing
simultaneously. Today, air pollutants have shown a great effect on plantations, health and life,
decreasing the enjoyment of living, rising medical costs, causes global warming and also causes the
destruction of the ozone layer.
One of the major causes of air pollution is the release of carbon di oxide into the atmosphere. This
happens because of deforestation and fossil fuel burning. Sulfur dioxide is another main air polluter
and is released into the atmosphere by the burning of sulfur containing compounds of fossil fuels.
Sulfur dioxide is very harmful for the humans on high concentration and sulfur in the atmosphere is
the main cause of acid rains. Chlorofluorocarbons also contribute to air pollution by reducing the
ozone layer in the stratosphere. CFC's are produced by the burning of plastic foam items, leaking
refrigerator equipment and spray cans.

WATER POLLUTION:
Contamination of available natural water by industrial wastes and other waste products can be
defined as water pollution. Factors causing water pollution can be categorized into two different
groups; Point sources and Non- point sources.
Point sources are easy to identify and control. Some point sources of water pollution include waste
products from factories, waste from sewage, waste from power plants , waste from underground coal
mines and waste from oil wells. They are called point sources because these are the direct sources
of water pollution and be reduced and monitored.
Non- point sources are ambiguously defined and are much harder to control. The term non -point
source encompasses a large range of sources like when rain and snow moves through the ground
and picks up major pollutants and mover towards a major body of water, the runoff of fertilizers from
farms animals and crop lands, air pollutants getting washed or deposited to earth, and storm water
drained from streets parking lots and lawns.

LAND POLLUTION:
The contamination of and with different kinds of wastes is called land pollution. The major causes of
land pollution are construction, domestic waste , industrial waste and agriculture.
The rising construction of building takes away the trees that takes away the homes of the animals
living there. As there are more and more people inhabiting on our planet, the demand for food
increases and the forests are cut down to make farm lands. In addition, Herbicides, pesticides,
artificial fertilizers and animal manure are washed into the soil and pollute it. Tons of domestic waste
is dumped everyday from homes offices etc. They can be recycled or burnt in incinerators. There are
still more waste machinery products such as refrigerators and washing machines that are dumped in
landfills simply because they cannot be recycled. Plastic factories, oil refineries, nuclear waste
disposals, and large animal farms, all lead to land pollution.
