Types of pollution included in the video are:

1. Land pollution
a. Agricultural inputs such as fertilizers, pesticides, fungicides to maximize
yields. These inputs are loaded with chemicals that strips the minerals of soils
and are harmful to animals.
b. Deforestation. Elimination of natural vegetation disrupts the ecosystem,
adversely affecting various life forms. It exposes the earth’s surface to sun’s
intense heat which in turn leads to soil degradation and desertification.
c. Mining degrades the quality of land. These include the extraction of metals,
oil, coal, stones, stand, and mineral ores such as gold. When mining or
quarrying, you normally have to clear the land surface and drill huge manholes
and pits. After mining, we leave the land completely defaced and exposed to
erosion, which further whittles down its quality and value.
d. Non-biodegradable solid waste includes metal, glass, and plastic products.
This waste finds its way to the dumping areas, which in turn results in
landfills. Plastic products are especially the most notorious.
2. Air pollution
a. Pollutant such as Nitrogen Oxides(NOx), Carbon Monoxide(CO), Sulfur
Dioxide(SO2) emitted by vehicles causes adverse impacts on environment.
Primary pollution is emitted directly into the atmosphere; secondary pollution
results from chemical reactions between pollutants in the atmosphere.
b. Factory emissions. The most damaging greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide, is
released into the atmosphere from the burning of fossil fuels. Factory
emissions contribute greatly to the release of carbon dioxide into the
atmosphere. It also causes ozone depletion.

Legislations involved:

a. Environmental Quality Act 1974 : An Act relating to the prevention, abatement,

control of pollution and enhancement of the environment, and for purposes connected
therewith.
b. Environmental Quality (Control of Emission from Petrol Engines) Regulation
1996 : Controls the emissions of pollutants from motor vehicles to comply with the
standard.
c. Pesticides (Highly Toxic Pesticides) Regulations 1996 : overs the management of all
pesticides and other chemicals used in agriculture.
d. Earthwork By-Law 1996 : siltation requirement for silt traps and sediment control
