Enviromental Pollution. Have we done enough?

There are four types of pollution.

· Air pollution
· Water pollution
· Land pollution
· Noise pollution


Air pollution

Air pollution is a indication of disturbances to the composition of compounds in the atmosphere. The effects of air pollution are
1. Global warming
2. Acid rain
3. Smog
4. Ozone depletion


Water pollution

Water pollution is contamination of water by foreign matter that deteriorates the quality of the water. Water pollution covers pollutions in liquid forms like ocean pollution and river pollution.

The effects of water pollution are
1. Toxic waste thrown into rivers by factories
2. Litter thrown into rivers


Land pollution

Land pollution involves Deposition of solid waste Accumulation of non-biodegradable materials, Toxification of chemicals into poisons, Alteration of soil chemical composition.
Land pollution will result in trees and animals dying because the animals need the plants to eat.

Noise pollution
This particular pollution is ever increasing with due to the rise in the utilization of heavy duty machineries of industrial facilities and vehicles, synonymous to the increase in the standard of living in most countries. We make sounds practically every seconds of our day, but to the extend it has reached an unfavorable high intensity which had cause many disturbances and irritation to others emotionally that has adverse effects on our daily activities.
The major causes of noise pollution are
1. Road traffic noise
2. Air traffic
3. Rail traffic
4. Neighborhood and domestic noise
