AIR POLLUTION –contamination
of the atmosphere caused by
particulates such as dust or
excessive gases like carbon
dioxide or other vapors
cannot be removed through
natural cycle .
Vehicle or manufacturing
exhaust
Forest fire, volcanic
eruptions , dry soil erosion
and other natural sources
Building construction or
oSmog increases
oHigher rain acidity
oCrop depletion from
inadequate oxygen
oAnd higher rates of asthma
oGlobal warming is also related
to increase air pollution
CAUSES OF WATER POLLUTION:
Increased sediments from soil
erosion
Improper waste disposal and
littering
Leaching of soil pollution into water
supply
Organic material decay in water
supplies
Decreasing the quality of drinkable
water available
Lowering water suppliesfor crop
irrigation
Impacting fish and wildlife
population that require water of
certain purity for survival.
SOURCES OF SOIL POLLUTION:
Hazardous waste and sewage spills
Non-sustainable farming practices such
as the heavy use of inorganic pesticides
Strip mining, deforestation, and other
destructive practices.
Household dumping and littering.
Can lead to poor growth and
reduced crop yields.
Loss of wild life habitat.
Water and visual pollution
Soil erosion
desertification
SOURCES OF NOISE POLLUTION:
Traffic
Airports
Railroads
Manufacturing plants
Construction and demolition area
Concerts
Hearing loss
Wildlife

SOURCES:
Nuclear power plant accidents or
leakage
Improper nuclear waste disposal

Light pollution makes it impossible
to see stars, therefore interfering
with astronomical observation and
personal enjoyment.
If it is near residential areas light
pollution can also degrade the
quality of life for residents
