Land pollution is the biggest harm to the
human race because it prevents growth and balance in the land. Land pollution
has many causes such as the creation of landfills, deforestation, hazardous
waste, sewage spills and many more. When land pollution occurs can affects
the growth of crops, loss in wildlife habitat and water
and visual pollution. There are things that we can do as humans to help this
issue such as recycle, reduce waste, and also we can buy in bulk to help reduce
the waste.
The Effects Of Pollution
From the air we breathe, the water we
drink to the ground where we grow our food, pollution occurs in many forms in
the environment. We as humans fail to realize that the pollution throughout
the environment involve us all. The problems are greatest in the areas of the
world that are developing, where pollutants such as industrial emissions, poor
sanitation, and contaminated water supply and inadequate waste management. All
this contributes to our daily health problems and our lower level quality of
life. As we are exposed to environmental pollution it is a major source of health
risks throughout the world. Land pollution is the biggest harm to the human
race. Exposure to pollutants often can occur in a wide range of diseases. Few
diseases are directly related to a single pollutant. Diseases such as
Bronchitis, Pulmonary cancer, gastroenteritis, and many more. Activities of
human beings release several pollutants in the air such as carbon monoxide,
hydrocarbons, etc. Water has become an insufficient possession. Pollution can
make even the smallest available water unfit for use. They discharge pollutants
indirectly or directly into the water sources such as lakes, rivers and
streams. The water of seas and rivers are always getting polluted all over the
world by harmful chemicals and wastes. Pollution is an increasing problem,
causing harm to our society every day.

the fish and wildlife. Then for the water pollution reduce, re-use, and
recycle. Reduce waste industrial, re-use bottles, recycle plastic, and also use
less plastic.

Air pollution which is
the second most dangerous pollutant because it disturbs natural composition
and chemistry of the air. There are many causes to air pollution such as car
exhaust pipes, forest fires, and construction or demolition. Air pollution
increases the rate of smog, rain acidity, and the asthma rate in the
society. The ways for us to fix the air pollution problems are use public
