This document discusses different types of environmental pollution including air, water, soil, noise, and discusses their causes and effects. It describes the atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere. It then explains various forms of pollution like water pollution caused by industrial waste, soil pollution from acid rain and chemicals, noise pollution from traffic and construction, and air pollution from vehicle emissions and industry releasing sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxide. Global warming and the greenhouse effect are also summarized as a long term heating of the climate system from increased CO2 and ozone in the atmosphere. Solutions proposed include individual responsibility, restricting carbon emissions, international agreements, and reducing plastic usage.
