Our environment is influenced by our daily actions and by our society. The earth is plagued by soil, air and water pollution. Pollution is the act or process of polluting or the state of pollution, especially the contamination of soil, water or the atmosphere by the discharge of harmful substances. Efforts to improve the standard of living of human beings through the control of nature and the development of new products have also resulted in pollution of the environment. There are different types of pollution, such as air, water, land and soil pollution. Much of the world's air, water and land are now poisoned in some way. Pollution exposes people around the world to new risks from potentially deadly diseases. Many plant species and some contaminants can be noticed due to odor, while others are not because they are odorless. Air pollution is the contamination of the air caused by the discharge of harmful substances. We have many pollutants, which cause air pollution. Some examples are carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. All these pollutants can cause many cancers, birth defects, brain and nerve damage, long-term lung damage, etc. They also damage nature and our environment by destroying forests, lakes and animals. Air pollution is also a form of pollution and comes from factories and transportation that rely on huge amounts of fuel. Every year, many tons of coal and oil are consumed around the world. When we use these types of fuel, they not only produce smoke, but also emit byproducts into the atmosphere. The cumulative effect of air pollution represents a serious threat to humans and the environment. “Chemical reactions involving air pollutants can create acidic compounds that can cause damage to vegetation and buildings. Sometimes, when an air pollutant, such as sulfuric acid, combines with the water droplets that make up clouds, the water droplets become acidic, forming acid rain.” (Today, 2010) When acid rain falls it is harmful to trees and can harm animals and other animals. “Water pollution affects the plants and organisms that live in these bodies of water. In almost all cases the effect is harmful not only to individual species and populations, but also to natural biological communities." (Conserve-Energy-Future) Rivers, streams, canals, lakes and oceans are receptacles for every imaginable type of pollution. Although water has the ability to break down or dissolve many materials, especially organic compounds, pollution of our waters is becoming a major problem. Pollutants such as metals, plastics and some chlorinated hydrocarbons remain in the water and can make it poisonous to most life forms. Even biodegradable pollutants can damage the water supply for long periods, and life forms in the water begin to suffer damage from the pollution. Lakes are particularly susceptible to pollution because they cannot purify themselves as quickly as rivers or oceans. In recent years, waste treatment plants have developed methods to address water contamination. Some places, however, still pollute waterways by allowing raw sewage to enter. Septic tanks and cesspools can also pollute nearby aquifers and streams. Even the purification process carried out in purification plants can cause water pollution if it contains high concentrations of nitrogen and
