It is also one of the biggest problems of the world today because it brings about contamination, ecosystem, and the cause of some diseases that most people do not know about. There are four types of pollution, namely, air pollution, soil pollution, water pollution and noise pollution. 5 Most of the air pollution results from the burning of fossil fuels, motor vehicles, factories, aircraft and rockets. This can cause acid rain which damages water, soil and vegetation. Air pollution also contributes to the greenhouse effects which can lead to a series of environmental problems such as global warming, polar ice melting, rise of sea levels and loss of land. 10 Soil pollution is a result of dumping plastic or other inorganic waste in the ground and the overuse of chemical fertilizers in agriculture. The long-term effects of soil pollution are contaminated vegetation and the decrease of soil fertility.
