Water and Air Pollution

There are many types of pollutions. They come from many different places and from many different things. They mainly take harmful effects on the Earth. Pollution is a cycle of ongoing destruction to our world. The amount of destruction caused by pollution can be lowered by humans. First, what is pollution? Pollution is the introduction into the environment of a substance that has harmful or poisonous effects. Not all pollution can be seen or show signs, though they all bring change to the environment. Pollution can take the form of chemical substances or energy, such as noise, heat or light. Other forms of pollution include air pollution, littering, soil contamination, water pollution, and visual pollution. Air pollutants cause damage to human health and the ozone layer, which protects us from the harmful ultraviolet rays of the sun. It affects plants interfering with photosynthesis, making it hard for them to make food properly. Water pollution, on the other hand, kills life inside bodies of water. It also affects the food chain when smaller organisms eat the pollution and then are eaten by larger organisms, which are eventually eaten by humans, during the food chain. People can get hepatitis by eating poisoned seafood. When people dump chemicals into the bodies of water, sea plants die and decompose in the water using more oxygen that other sea organisms need, unbalancing the ecosystem. The causes of many of these problems can be lowered or even stopped. Activities such as car pool, riding bikes, or using battery-powered cars can help lower air pollution. Even a simple step as only putting clean water down storm drains can help water
