Pollution

Introduction

There are two types of the cause of pollution, natural and man-made. Natural pollution occurs naturally and won't cause excessive harm to our lives due to its regeneration ability. While the man-made pollution is caused by human activities, and hard to get rid of. The backbones of man-made pollution are human population and technology. Naturally human needs contact to the environment, we get resources from nature. This is for the sake of living. By the increase of human population, the contact is getting more intensive, because needs are increasing. And by the findings and development of new technologies, human can apply them to get the resources. And it's common that new technologies would bring their respective side effects besides their advantages.

Small population with any level of technology wouldn't have to exploit the nature overwhelmingly. But big population with any level of technology will surely exploit the nature more, and even overwhelmingly, this is all for the needs of the people.

Pollution is a growing pain. Pollution is not a problem that came suddenly from the sky; it's our fault and has been a part of our life through many years. We must be wise in managing our resources, and take positive action towards preventing any forms of pollution to the environment. Make the world a better place to live.
There are 6 (six) types of pollution that are going to be discussed in this site, namely air, water, noise, land, radioactive, and thermal.

Definition
Presence of matter (gas, liquid, solid) or energy (heat, noise, radiation) whose nature, location, or quantity directly or indirectly alters characteristics or processes of any part of the environment, and causes (or has the potential to cause) damage to the condition, health, safety, or welfare of animals, humans, plants, or property.

Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into an environment that causes instability, disorder, harm or discomfort to the ecosystem i.e. physical systems or living organisms. Pollution can take the form of chemical substances, or energy, such as noise, heat, or light energy. Pollutants, the elements of pollution, can be foreign substances or energies, or naturally occurring; when naturally occurring, they are considered contaminants when they exceed natural levels. Pollution is often classed as point source or nonpoint source pollution.

What is pollution?

The undesirable changes in any element of the environment , the organism has an adverse effect on the world , pollution is. Environmental contamination in the human development process and has contributed significantly to modernity. Even normal human activities are called pollution , which gives negative fruits. For example, pollutants are nitrogen oxides produced by industry. Although the element pollutant is not. It is the energy of sunlight into the mixture of the smoke and fog is.
May be of two types of pollution. Local and global. In the past, only local pollution was considered a problem. Dhuon generated by burning coal, for example , the pollutant becomes extremely dense. Which is harmful to health. school colleges were taught a slogan to be a mild solution of the pollution is. Theory was that rare - less - will not suffer from pollution. Local and global pollution of the environmental consciousness of the reform movements that have started. Which was that human activities , the environment can be protected from being contaminated , it can be minimized.

Such as the beach and wetlands vegetation, algae, etc. that the root cause of pollution is , industrial, agricultural , residential up coming out of Colunion f'k Excellent material obtained from the breed of nutrition. Of heavy elements like lead and mercury Jiokamicl place in the cycle is. They dig and how their production process will depend on how the environment is depth. Pryavarn of these elements in such pollution is the human salvage. Just as pollution , indigenous or historic natural geochemical activity can also be created.

Carbndaiaksaid in air pollution is to be the case that the Earth's environment creates an unfair distinction. " greenhouse - effect gases causing an increase in the land - the temperature of the Board is continually growing. Himkndon of which will increase the rate of melting and coastal areas by rising sea level , submerged will be. Although these studies do not accept the Western countries, especially America 's. Sense of Pradusn individually are determined by context.

Traditionally, air pollution , water , radioactivity, etc. are covered. If they happen to be analyzed at the global level, sound , light pollution, etc. are included.

Serious pollution are the main source of generating , chemical industry , oil Rifaynrijh , nuclear waste sites , garbage, household , plastics industry , car industry , Pshugrih , crematorium etc. Molecular Institute , oil tanks , accidents that cause serious pollution. Some of the major Element Etc. are the major pollutant elements

After natural disasters is pollution. Big - big ocean after storms when the waves are turning back the garbage, litter , broken boats - cars , sea shore trash etc. Munispalti waste including oil factories are shedding takes. " Tsunami " after the study, said coastal fish , heavy elements Pratist was greatly increased.

Pollutants give rise to various diseases. Such as cancer , Ilerjee , asthma , immune diseases, etc.. As far as diseases causing them to some of the pollutants have been named. Disease caused by mercury compounds such as the ' Minamta ' is called.

What is pollution?

Pollution
Every year in the U.S. factories release over 3 million tons of toxic chemicals into the land, air and water. This hazardous waste causes us to lose over 15 million acres of land every year, it leads to respiratory complications and other health problems and it makes our rivers and lakes too polluted for us to swim in and drink.



But factories are only part of the problem of pollution. Pollution is caused by industrial and commercial waste, agriculture practices, everyday human activities and most notably, modes of transportation. No matter where you go and what you do, there are remnants of pollution.
What is pollution?
Pollution is the introduction of a contaminant into the environment. It is created mostly by human actions, but can also be a result of natural disasters. Pollution has a detrimental effect on any living organism in an environment, making it virtually impossible to sustain life.

Pollution

Why are the different types of pollution?
Pollution harms the Earth’s environment and its inhabitants in many ways. The three main types of pollution are:
Land Pollution
Land pollution is pollution of the Earth’s natural land surface by industrial, commercial, domestic and agricultural activities.
What are the sources of land pollution?
Some of the main contributors to land pollution are:
Chemical and nuclear plants
Industrial factories
Oil refineries
Human sewage
Oil and antifreeze leaking from cars
Mining
Littering
Overcrowded landfills
Deforestation
Construction debris
Facts about Land Pollution
Here are a few facts about land pollution:
Every year one American produces over 3285 pounds of hazardous waste
Land pollution causes us to lose 24 billion tons of top soil every year
