Page 4 - TYPES OF POLLUTION

 Deforestation also exposes the soil to wind and water, making it prone to
erosion and thus, land degradation.

 Land pollution not only destroys the aesthetic beauty
of a place, but also impacts human health. Garbage
dumped carelessly on land acts as a breeding ground
for many mosquitoes and pests and spread diseases
like malaria, dengue etc.

 Plants do not grow well in soil contaminated with chemicals. Animals also
lose their habitat as a result of land pollution.

noise pollution.

 Noise produced from vehicles, loudspeakers and machines used in factories
