Understanding Pollution: Types & Solutions

This document discusses three main types of pollution: air, water, and noise. It provides causes and effects of each type as well as ways to control and prevent pollution. Air pollution is caused mainly by industries, automobiles, and domestic fuels and harms human health, animals, and plants. Water pollution results from industrial and organic wastes contaminating rivers and can cause diseases. Noise pollution stems from traffic, construction, industries, and loud speakers, and has health impacts like hearing loss and stress. The document recommends various measures to reduce each type of pollution such as using cleaner fuels, limiting waste discharge, and planning infrastructure to minimize noise.
