Answers
Answer:-
Environmental pollution alone is a very broad term that covers a wide array of pollution related terms and phenomena. The first thing that is important to understand is the meaning of the term “Pollution”.
Pollution is not a textbook term and can be commonly defined as any kind of unwanted and undesirable changes in the environment due to the introduction, accumulation and multiplication of foreign “Unnatural” pollutants and toxicants over time.
It is important to realise that pollution is not a sudden event, it occurs when pollutants accumulate in various spheres, strata and trophic levels of the environment over a long period of time.
These pollutants are not created in nature but are rather “Born” from several anthropogenic activities. The pollutants undergo bioaccumulation, bio-concentration and bio-magnification over a period of time and cause adverse effects on the environment.
Environmental pollution is simply a combination of all the different types of pollutions that occur in different spheres, strata and trophic levels of the environment. The most commonly discussed forms environmental pollution include:
Air pollution
Water pollution
Soil/Land pollution
Radioactive pollution
Noise pollution
Electronic pollution
