How does pollution affect the Environment?
Air pollution effects the environment because it can form acid rain which harm plants and wild animals. The acid rain demolishes the leaves of plants and can go in rivers, streams,etc., which harms fish and other marine life. Air pollution can also cause Nitrogen to deposit on soil, affecting the nutrients, and plants in or near freshwater resources causing an abundance of algae growth which makes conditions for other living organisms harmful. Chemical reactions involving air pollutants creating a dangerous and poisonous gas called ozone (O3). Ozone can affect people's health, harm vegetation, and some animal life too. Water pollution impacts the environment because it can cause death of aquatic animals from pollutants in their habitat. It can also cause disruption in natural food chains. Eventually, we could be affected by this process as well. People can get diseases such as hepatitis from eating seafood poisoned from water pollutants. Water pollution causes ecosystems to fall apart. Many areas are now being affected by our pollution and is coming back to hurt us is various ways.Land pollution impacts the environment because contaminated lands can cause problems in our respiratory systems (lungs), cause skin conditions to appear, and various types of cancer. The toxic pollutants in the soil can find its way to our immune system by touching our skin, being washed into water resources, eating vegetation that has grown in the polluted soil, and breathing polluted particles. Landfills have rodents which like to breed in landfills and can spread illnesses. Landfills burn which can cause further air pollution.
