Water pollution spreads diseases and destroys aquatic life. Noise pollution stems from traffic, construction, airports, and industries and causes hearing loss, stress, and sleep disturbances. Land pollution results from mining, waste, and garbage and reduces suitable land. Radioactive pollution from nuclear power and waste has health effects like cancer and bone/lung diseases.
