Our environment is affected by our daily actions and by our society. The earth is plagued by land, air and water pollution. Pollution is the act or process of pollution or the state of pollution, including the contamination of soil, water or the atmosphere by the discharge of harmful substances. Efforts to improve human living standards through the control of nature and the development of new products have also resulted in environmental pollution. There are different types of pollution, such as air, water, land and soil pollution. Much of the planet's air, water and land is now somewhat poisoned. Pollution exposes people around the world to new risks from potentially fatal diseases. Many plant species and some contaminants can be noticed due to odor, while others cannot because they are odorless. Air pollution is contamination of the air through the release of harmful substances. We have many pollutants that pollute the air. Some examples are carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. All these pollutants can cause many cancers, birth defects, brain and nerve damage, long-term lung damage, etc. They also harm nature and our environment by destroying forests, lakes and animals. Air pollution is also a form of pollution and comes from factories and transportation that rely on huge amounts of fuel. Many tons of coal and oil are consumed each year around the world. When we use these types of fuels, they not only produce smoke but also release byproducts into the atmosphere. The cumulative effect of air pollution poses a serious threat to humans and the environment. “Chemical reactions involving air pollutants can create acidic compounds that can damage vegetation and buildings. Sometimes, when an air pollutant, such as sulfuric acid, combines with the water droplets that make up clouds, the water droplets become acidic, forming acid rain. (Today, 2010) When acid rain falls is bad for trees and can harm animals and others “Water pollution affects the plants and organisms living in these bodies of water. In almost all cases, the effect is detrimental not only to individual species and populations, but also to natural biological communities. » (Conserve-Energy-Future) Rivers, streams, canals, lakes and oceans are receptacles for every type of pollution imaginable. Although water has the ability to break down or dissolve many materials, including organic compounds, pollution of our water bodies is becoming a major problem. Pollutants such as metals, plastics and some chlorinated hydrocarbons remain in water and can make it toxic to most life forms. Even biodegradable pollutants can damage a water supply for long periods of time and life forms in the water begin to suffer damage from the pollution. Lakes are particularly susceptible to pollution because they cannot clean themselves as quickly as rivers or oceans. In recent years, waste treatment plants have developed ways to combat water contamination. However, some places still pollute waterways by dumping raw sewage into them. Septic tanks and cesspools can also pollute groundwater and yards
