Answer:
Man-made pollutants can threaten human health and compromise the natural ecosystem and environment. Man-made pollution is generally a byproduct of human actions such as consumption, waste disposal, industrial production, transportation and energy generation. Pollutants can enter the surrounding environment in various ways, either through the atmosphere, water systems or soil, and can persist for generations if left untreated.
Air pollution: occurs when harmful chemicals or particulate matter are introduced into the atmosphere. Depending on the type and severity, air pollution can damage human and animal health as well as the natural environment.Water Pollution
Water pollution: occurs as bodies of water (oceans, lakes, rivers, streams, aquifers and atmospheric water) become contaminated by man-made waste substances. Soil Pollution
Soil pollution: occurs as harmful man-made substances leach into the soil. This can be caused by pesticide run-off, leakage of underground storage tanks, dumping, percolation of contaminated surface water to lower soil strata or the presence of landfills. Soil contamination by man-made pollutants can have devastating consequences to ecosystems as contaminants travel up the food chain from plants to higher-order carnivores. Radioactive Pollution
Radioactive pollution: can result from the improper disposal of nuclear waste, the accidental discharge of core material from a nuclear power plant or the detonation of a nuclear explosive device.
