2. INTRODUCTION Pollution effects are indeed many and wide-ranging.
There is no doubt that excessive levels of pollution are causing a lot of damage to human & animal health, plants & trees including tropical rainforests, as well as the wider environment.

3. TYPES OF POLLUTION SOIL POLLUTION WATER POLLUTION AIR POLLUTION
All types of pollution – air, water and soil pollution – have an impact on the living environment.
The effects in living organisms may range from mild discomfort to serious diseases such as cancer to physical deformities; ex., extra or missing limbs in frogs.
Experts admit that pollution effects are quite often underestimated and that more research is needed to understand the connections between pollution and its effects on all life forms.

4. AIR POLLUTION
Air pollution is the introduction of chemicals, particulate matter, or biological materials that cause harm or discomfort to humans or other living organisms, or cause damage to the natural environment or built environment, into the atmosphere.
The atmosphere is a complex dynamic natural gaseous system that is essential to support life on planet Earth. Stratospheric ozone depletion due to air pollution has long been recognized as a threat to human health as well as to the Earth's ecosystems.
Indoor air pollution and urban air quality are listed as two of the world's worst pollution problems in the 2008

5. CAUSES OF AIR POLLUTION
Combustion Engine Exhaust
Cars, trucks, jet airplanes and other combustion engine vehicles cause air pollution. The exhaust from these contains carbon monoxide, nitrous oxide and gaseous oxide.
Factories, office buildings, homes and power-generating stations burn fossil fuels, which cause air pollution. The burning of oil and coal (fossil fuels) also contributes to smog. This air pollution destroys plants, damages buildings and creates oxidation on iron.
Petroleum refineries release hydrocarbons and various particulates that pollute the air.
Some power lines are not insulated and are high voltage. This creates air pollution.

6. Pesticides used to kill indoor and outdoor pests, insecticides used to kill insects and herbicides use to kill weeds all cause air pollution.
Radioactive fallout causes air pollution from the nuclear energy dispersed, which is a dust. Fertilizer Dust
Dust from fertilizers used to help plants grow causes air pollution.
Sick building syndrome (SBS) is the term used when there is indoor air pollution. This happens when there is not enough ventilation to disburse the toxic fumes from new carpet, paint and/or cleaning chemicals that are used indoors. Mold can also cause

7. EFFECTS OF AIR POLLUTION
Air Pollution Effects (1, 2)
Reduced lung functioning
Irritation of eyes, nose, mouth and throat
Asthma attacks
Respiratory symptoms such as coughing and wheezing

Increased respiratory disease such as bronchitis
Reduced energy levels
Headaches and dizziness
Disruption of endocrine, reproductive and immune systems
Neurobehavioral disorders
Cardiovascular problems
Cancer
Premature death

8. How you can help to prevent Air Pollution?
Go in for water-based paints instead of varnishes
Use minimum amount of natural gas and even electricity
Avoid the use of firecrackers
Always buy recycled products

9. WATER POLLUTION
Water pollution is the contamination of water bodies (e.g. lakes, rivers, oceans and groundwater).
Water pollution occurs when pollutants are discharged directly or indirectly in to the water bodies without adequate treatment to water.

10. Causes of water pollution
The sources of water pollution is addition of various waste product in the fresh water bodies-
1.Industrial waste
2.Agricultural waste
3.Use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers
4 Discharge of urban waste

11. EFFECTS OF WATER POLLUTION
Waterborne diseases caused by polluted drinking water:
Typhoid
Amoebiasis
Giardiasis
Ascariasis
Hookworm
Waterborne diseases caused by polluted beach water:
Rashes, ear ache, pink eye
Respiratory infections
diarrhoea, vomiting, and stomach aches
Damage to the nervous system
Liver and kidney damage
Damage to the DNA

12. Preventive measures of water pollution
Measures to prevent water pollution are to conserve and protect water quality - in terms of its use reduction and disposal, waste water treatment, technical changes and recycling.
Education is one, teaching people about consequences will make most of them to become more responsible and avoid dumping things into the sea, which takes care of the physical garbage.

13. Soil pollution
Soil pollution is defined as a phenomenon characterized by the loss of structural and biological properties by the soil layers as a result of numerous human and natural factors, such as wind, deforestation, chemical use, among others, etc.

14. Causes of soil pollution
Soil can become contaminated in many ways. Chemicals, like herbicides and pesticides, are major polluters; oil dumps, landfills, and industrial wastes can also wreak havoc.

15. Effects of soil pollution
Causes cancers including leukaemia
Mercury can increase the risk of kidney damage; cyclodienes can lead to liver toxicity
Causes neuromuscular blockage as well as depression of the central nervous system
Also causes headaches, nausea, fatigue, eye irritation and skin rash
Contact with contaminated soil may be direct (from using parks, schools etc) or indirect (by inhaling soil contaminants which have vaporized)

16. Preventions of soil pollution
Reducing use of chemicals.
Reforestation and recycling of wastes.
Weed control.
