This document discusses different types of pollution, focusing on air and water pollution. It defines pollution as contamination of the environment by harmful substances. The five types of pollution mentioned are air, water, noise, land, and radioactive. Air pollution is caused mainly by industries, automobiles, and domestic fuels emitting gases like sulfur dioxide and carbon monoxide. Air pollution affects human health, animals, plants, and the atmosphere. Water pollution is caused by organic and inorganic industrial wastes discharged into rivers and can cause diseases. Methods to reduce air pollution include using natural gases for vehicles and reducing fuel usage, while water pollution can be decreased by proper waste disposal and harvesting rainwater.
