problems, stomach and liver illness, and rashes.
• Dioxins are created by using of disinfectant causes cancer.
• Nitrates, causes blue-baby syndrome, which causes shortness of breath and blue-tinted
skin, and can lead to death if not treated early.

10. Effects of pollution
Effects of Land & Soil Pollution
◦ cause various problems on the skin, respiratory problems, and even different kinds of cancers.
◦ Land degradation and soil erosion.
◦ Destroy ecosystems and habitats.
◦ Creates an imbalance in atmospheric conditions, reducing the amount of carbon that is naturally
taken out of the atmosphere.
Effects of Noise & Light Pollution
◦ Cause stress, anxiety, headaches, irritability, hearing loss, and sleep loss
◦ Cause the injury or death of marine animals, especially whales.
