 INTRODUCTION
• Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into the natural
environment that cause adverse change.[1] Pollution can take the
form of chemical substances or energy, such as noise, heat or light.
Pollutants, the components of pollution, can be either foreign
substances/energies or naturally occurring contaminants
• Major forms of pollution include: Air pollution, light pollution,
littering, noise pollution, plastic pollution, soil contamination,
radioactive contamination, thermal pollution, visual pollution, water
pollution.
 DIFFERENT TYPES OF POLLUTION
• AIR POLLUTION
• WATER POLLUTION
• SOIL POLLUTION
• NOISE POLLUTION
• LIGHT POLLUTION
• RADIOACTIVE POLLUTION
 AIR POLLUTION
• Air pollution is defined as the presence in the air of abnormal
amounts of chemical constituents capable of causing harm to
living organisms.
• Air pollution can exist at all scales, from local to global, and can
include gases and solid particles.
• It can be produced by inefficient burning of fuel (for example a
charcoal stove in a home with inadequate air supply) and if
breathed in large quantities it can be deadly. Carbon dioxide is
an important pollutant that is involved in climate change.
 WATER POLLUTION
• Water pollution is characterised by the presence of excess
physical, chemical or biological substances that change the
qualities of the water and are capable of causing harm to living
organisms
• Biological water pollutants are micro-organisms that are harmful
to humans and other forms of life. They are responsible for
many different waterborne diseases.
• Chemical pollutants also include heavy metals, pesticides and
other persistent pollutants.
