Air pollution is by far the most harmful form of pollution in our environment. It is caused by the injurious smoke emitted by cars, buses, trucks, trains, and factories. Even smoke from burning leaves and cigarettes is harmful to the environment causing a lot of damage to man and the atmosphere. Evidence of increasing air pollution is seen in lung cancer.
Water pollution caused by industrial waste products released into lakes, rivers, and other water bodies, has made marine life no longer hospitable. Humans pollute water with large scale disposal of garbage and other household waste. In many areas in the world, water in some rivers is too polluted to bath or drink.
Noise pollution, soil pollution and light pollution are also damaging the environment at an alarming rate. Noise pollution includes aircraft noise, noise of cars, buses, vehicle horns, loudspeakers, and industry noise which are extremely harmful to the environment.
