Pollution not only affects the environment but also introduces diseases that could kill all living organisms. Toxic chemicals released in water have killed aquatic life and also reduced the quality of water. Toxic gasses released in the air cause different lung diseases such as asthma etc.
Point source pollution: This comes from a single, identifiable source, such as a factory or a sewage treatment plant.
Non-point source pollution: Unlike point source pollution, this type comes from diffuse sources, making it harder to trace back to a specific origin. Examples include runoff from agricultural fields or urban areas.
Airborne pollution: This refers to pollutants released into the atmosphere, often from industrial processes, transportation, or natural sources like wildfires.
Waterborne pollution: This includes pollutants that enter water bodies such as rivers, lakes, and oceans, either directly or via runoff from land. Examples include chemicals, heavy metals, and sewage.
