This document discusses the effects of pollution on life in our planet. It outlines the three main types of pollution: soil, water, and air pollution. Soil pollution is caused by industrial activity, chemicals, and waste, and can contaminate the natural soil environment. Water pollution occurs when pollutants are discharged into bodies of water without treatment. Air pollution is a mixture of particles and gases in the atmosphere from sources like car emissions, factories, dust, and pollen that can form smog. All types of pollution impact living organisms and can cause mild to serious health effects like cancer or physical deformities.
