Environmental pollution is the status of environmental contamination by chemical,

biological ... affect human health and other living organisms.


Environmental pollution is caused by humans and human management
The main types of pollution:
Here are the forms of pollution and related pollutants:
+ Air pollution, dust and smoke of the discharge of chemicals into
the atmosphere.Examples of toxic carbon monoxide, sulfur ddiooxit, cloroflorocacbo
n substances(CFCs), and oxides of nitrogen is industrial waste and vehicles. Photoc
hemical ozoneand smoke and fog (smog) is created when nitrogen oxides react
with water in the air(is condensation) is catalyzed sun.

+ Water pollution occurs when surface water flows through the domestic
waste,industrial waste water, pollutants in the ground, and groundwater seepage.
+ Soil pollution occurs when soil contaminated
with toxic chemicals (concentrationsexceed normal limits) by the activities of
man as active mining, industrial production,fertilizer
use chemical pesticides or too much, ... or by leaking from undergroundstorage
tanks. Most common types of soil contaminants are hydrocarbons, heavy
metals, MTBE, herbicides, pesticides, and chlorinated hydrocarbons.
+ noise pollution, including noise caused by vehicles, aircraft, industrial noise.
+ air pollution: laoij waves as the waves by telephone, to television in greater
density.
Implications for human health:
Air pollution can kill many living,organisms including humans. Ozone pollution canc
ause respiratory disease,cardiovascular disease, inflammation of the throat, chest
pain, breathlessness. Water,pollution causes approximately 14,000 deaths per day,
mainly by eating with dirty water is not treated. Chemicals and heavy metals in food
and drink concept can cause cancer. Oil spills can cause itching blisters. Noise
pollution causes hearing,loss,hypertension,depression and insomnia .. cause more

serious consequences.

For the ecosystem:


- sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides cause acid rain can reduce soil pH.
- Land contaminated can become infertile, unsuitable for crops. This will affect the
body in food webs.
- Smoke and fog reduce the sunlight that plants can get to make the process
ofphotosynthesis.
- The invasive species can compete and occupied habitat for endangered native
species, thereby reducing biodiversity.
- CO2 generated from the factories and passing vehicles also increases the
greenhouse
effect. Earth on a heating up., gradually destroying the natural resort whereit is
available.
