Pollution affects ecosystems and creates a nexus of consequences that break down the boundaries of mediums and landscapes. For example, components of nitrogen and sulfur, when mixed in the air to cause air pollution, react and trigger a phenomenon called acid rain, which further affects water, soil, brick and mortar structures and human health. Is.
However, this is only one link formed due to one type of pollution. Imagine the variety of effects and the intertwined doom it is preparing for our future generations. On this occasion of National Pollution Control Day, 2021, let’s take a look at the different types of pollution present in the world.
air pollution
At present, the most visible pollution that is obstructing our visibility due to haze is air pollution. Gases like carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, aerosols, chlorofluorocarbons are all pollutants that contribute to air pollution and also play a role in increasing the global temperature.
Water Pollution
Extensive and costly projects including buildings, factories and companies run smoothly at the cost of water contamination, causing water pollution. Flow of waste materials and residues including harmful chemicals into water bodies is one of the major causes of water pollution.
plastic pollution
It is estimated that about 25,000 tonnes of plastic enters the environment in India every day. Plastic pollution, according to that fact, is 25,000 tons strong every day. Plastic pollution also contributes to water pollution and affects marine life in water bodies to a great extent.
soil pollution
Soil pollution is called soil pollution. There are many reasons for soil contamination and loss of its beneficial properties. Deforestation, acid rain, industrial and agricultural chemical use are some of the reasons.

noise pollution
Although this type of pollution does not directly affect the environment, its prevalence in the environment mainly affects one of the most essential components of the ecosystem – man. Noise pollution emanating from factories, vehicles and machinery has serious long-term consequences that affect humans physically and psychologically.
radioactive pollution
Radioactive contaminants are the major cause of radioactive pollution and are one of the most dangerous forms of pollution for nature and mankind due to the highly toxic substances that form the source of this pollution. Consequences include death or mutilation among those affected.
information pollution
This form of pollution is new and nascent, but causes great harm to society if not to nature. The spread of this type of pollution has been observed since the advent of Internet 2.0 and consists of the stream of information, which brings along the contaminants of the mind such as fake news, misinformation and propaganda.
