harmful gases, fluid or other pernicious matter that are released or introduced in the natural environment,
toxic material that makes the soil and air impure,
contaminants, pollutants, or hazardous substances that makes environment unsuitable or unsafe,
introduction of untreated chemicals that degrades or changes the biological properties of fresh water bodies such as lakes, rivers, ground water, etc.
unwanted and intolerable level of energies such as noise, radiation, etc.
resultant effect of the activities that disrupts the biodiversity of the ecosystem, or poses a threat to the sustainability of the environment,
Our environment is in danger due to pollution. The atmosphere is being polluted by discharge of emissions from industrial plants, domestic sources, running vehicles, which burns fossil fuel and from thermal power etc. Public health and hygiene are seriously effected in the cities of developed and developing countries by presence of Sulphur dioxide, Carbon dioxide, Nitrogen oxide, Carbon monoxide, Hydro carbon substance, etc.

Different Types of Pollution
The various types of environmental pollution includes air pollution, water pollution, soil pollution, radioactive pollution, noise pollution, light pollution, oil pollution, marine pollution, plastic pollution, etc. They are each discussed below:
1. Air pollution
Air pollution means the presence of pollutants in the atmosphere is such concentration that causes injury to human being, animals and plants.
Air pollution is the name for anything that makes the air dirty. Thus, air pollution is anything that contaminates the air and makes it harmful to breathe for humans, animals and birds.
Of course, air pollution will depend on the context: some things may be counted as air pollution in some contexts, but not in others. But, in sum, air pollution can be defined as:
Anything that contaminates the air.

Potentially dependent on the context.
Air pollution can be both indoor and outdoor as follows:
