What Is Soil Pollution? [pic] What Is Soil Pollution? Soil pollution results from the build up of contaminants‚ toxic compounds‚ radioactive materials‚ salts‚ chemicals and cancer-causing agents. The most common soil pollutants are hydrocarbons‚ heavy metals (cadmium‚ lead‚ chromium‚ copper‚ zinc‚ mercury and arsenic)‚ herbicides‚ pesticides‚ oils‚ tars‚ PCBs and dioxins. Until the 1970s‚ there was little talk of soil pollution and its devastating effects. In the 1980s‚ the U.S. Superfund was

Air Pollution There are three main types of pollution: air‚ water‚ and noise. My Speech will be focusing mainly on air pollution. Generally any substance that people introduce into the atmosphere that has damaging effects on living things and the environment is considered air pollution. Air pollution is a major environmental risk to health. By reducing air pollution levels‚ we can help countries reduce the global problem of disease from breathing infections‚ heart disease‚ and lung cancer

Most people do not realize that atmospheric pollution (also known as air pollution) is a very serious global problem. There are a great number of air pollutants that are basically caused from natural resources. Most of the pollutants are mankind. There are seven air pollutants that are at greater risk to our environment‚ which are the following: particulate matter (made up of acids‚ organic chemicals‚ metals‚ soils‚ and dust particles)‚ nitrogen oxides (made by highly reactive gasses that contain

This research examines the effects that humans have been inducing on the ocean and how the pollution produced is affecting the form of life present there. There is plenty of evidence that the oceans have deteriorated at the hands of humans‚ but recent investigations show that deterioration‚ especially at the sea coasts‚ has increased significantly in the last years due to increased industrial discharge. Common synthetic pollutants that reach the ocean include pesticides‚ herbicides‚ chemical fertilizers

River Pollution River pollution is form of water pollution that refers to the contamination of rivers. River pollution occurs when waste and different other pollutants are discharged into river without being properly treated. River pollution has negative effect on aquatic ecosystems. The negative impact on plants and animals often leads to decline in species‚ and sometimes even to extinction of entire species (Yangtze River dolphin). River pollution also leads to decrease in freshwater resources

Salt Pollution As awareness for pollution increases‚ other forms of pollution are defined. Almost everyone knows about toxic waste and carbon dioxide pollution‚ but not many people have heard of salt pollution. Salt pollution has been on the increase since the evolution of the automobile. With more pressure on government agencies to keep the highway clear and safe‚ an increase in the use of salt has developed. It is important to understand why salt is used and how it work as well as the environmental
