Types of Pollution

Air pollution is caused by many things, earth is very good at cleaning the air on its own, though through the years air pollution has gotten to a very bad point where earth can no longer clean all of the pollution we produce which has now started to have very bad effects on our environment such as causing acid rain, smog and a lot of health problems. There are a variety of things that cause air pollution like for example cars, airplanes and other engine vehicles. All these engine vehicles release a great amount of pollution into the air which contains carbon monoxide, nitrous oxide and gaseous oxide which all cause smog as seen in Los Angeles which unfortunately cause a lot of respiratory health problems and holes in the ozone layer which is the layer that protects us form the harmful rays of the sun which means by these holes being created with all this air pollution we are exposing ourselves to the sun’s harmful rays which can also cause skin cancer. There is also factories, office buildings, Home and power generating stations which burn fossil fuels and cause even more air pollution. The burning of oil and coal from fossil fuels also is a big contributor of smog all the air pollution released form these factories, office buildings, homes and power generating stations destroys plants, damages buildings and creates oxidation on iron. Radioactive fallout causes air pollution form the nuclear energy dispersed, which is dust. Pesticides used to kill indoor and outdoor pests, insecticide use to kill insects and herbicides used to kill weeds also cause air pollution. Fertilizer dust used in many farms all farms I think which is supposed to help plants grow also causes air pollution. Mills and plants, include paper mills, chemical plants, iron mills, steel mills, cement plants and asphalt plants, release emissions into the air causing even more pollution.

Soil Pollution (Soil contamination) is caused when soil loses its structure and biological properties and
