Study Notes
Air Pollution
- Common sources of air pollution include various human activities and natural sources
- Human activities such as industrial processes, vehicle emissions, and burning of fossil fuels contribute to air pollution
- Natural sources like volcanic eruptions, wildfires, and dust storms also release pollutants into the air
Soil Pollution
- Industrial waste, pesticides, and fertilizers are causes of soil pollution
- Improper disposal of waste, mining, and smelting activities also contaminate the soil
Food Pollution
- Food pollution occurs due to the presence of contaminants such as pesticides, heavy metals, and industrial chemicals in food
- Contamination can occur during production, processing, preparation, and distribution of food
