Combustion of fuels.
MEASURES: Plant more trees.

2. Water pollution occurs when harmful substances—often chemicals or microorganisms—contaminate a stream, river, lake, ocean, aquifer, or other body of water, degrading water quality and rendering it toxic to humans or the environment.
CAUSES: Toxic substances from farms, towns, and factories
MEASURES: Save Water: Conserving water is our first aim. Water wastage is a major problem globally and we are only now waking up to the issue. Simply small changes you can make domestically will make a huge difference.
Better treatment of sewage: So treating waste products before disposing of it in a water body helps reduce water pollution on a large scale. Agriculture or other industries can reuse this wastewater by reducing its toxic contents.
Use environmentally friendly products: By using soluble products that do not go on to become pollutants, we can reduce the amount of water pollution caused by a household.
3. Land pollution is the destruction and contamination of the land through the direct and indirect actions of erosion
CAUSES: Deforestation and soil erosion
Mining
MEASURES : Proper waste disposal that focuses on treating waste and disposing it in the safest manner possible.
Reusing materials to reduce the need for harvesting of resources. Products that are not reusable can likely be recycled.
Reducing the usage of non-biodegradable materials, such as plastic shopping bags. The simple act of switching to a reusable cloth bag for groceries can help cut down on the need for non-biodegradable materials.
Organic gardening can reduce the usage of pesticides and insecticides. Non-gardeners can help by buying organic food
