Overview of Pollution Types

Pollution can be classified into four main types: air pollution, water pollution, soil pollution, and noise pollution. Air pollution is the introduction of harmful substances into the air that can damage health and the environment. Water pollution occurs when harmful substances are released into bodies of water, making the water unsafe for drinking and contact. Soil pollution involves contaminating the earth's crust, which can negatively impact plant and animal life. Noise pollution refers to the spread of loud or unpleasant sounds in the environment.
