HEYAA FOLK,
1) Air Pollution- It is the pollution of air by harmful gases (sulphur diffarmingoxide, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide etc.), smoke and dust. The major pollutants are Carbon dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, nitrous oxide, sulphur dioxide, suspended particulate matter and carbon monoxide.
Air pollution is usually caused by burning of fossil fuels like petroleum and coal, burning of wood and cow dung cakes in homes, factories, vehicles and power plants. For example New Delhi is one of the most air polluted cities in the world because of excessive use of fossil fuels by cars and factories
2) Water Pollution- The contamination of water bodies such as lakes, rivers, oceans, underground water and seas by harmful substances is known as water pollution. Polluted water becomes unfit for drinking, bathing, washing and irrigation. The major cause of pollution of water is sewage, industrial wastes, pesticides and fertilizers from farming. Garbage dumping can also leak out pollutants into underground water.
The major pollutants are usually lead, mercury, fertilizer and pesticide compounds. For example the major source of pollution of the Ganga River is sewage and industrial wastes from tanning factories.
3) Soil Pollution- Soil pollution is the contamination of soil due by harmful substances. Polluted soil becomes unfit for growing crops and plants and is usually accompanied by water pollution. The major causes of soil pollution are over irrigation, pesticides, sewage and garbage dumping, deforestation and mining. The most common pollutants are heavy metals like lead and mercury, pesticide compounds, salt and mineral ores.
Water and soil pollution usually occur together as polluted water seeps into soil and contaminates it. Pollutants can also leach out from soil into water bodies when it rains....
hope it helps you!!!☺☺☺
