land and air pollution.
Water pollution is the contamination of lakes, caused by human activities. It can be harmful
to organisms and plants which live in the water. Water pollution occurs when wastes are
discharged from wastewater treatment plants. Other known causes are factory wastes or
leaking underground tanks. These can be chemical substances that are toxic.
The polluted water can cause cholera and typhoid fever. Water pollution has led to the
deaths of more than 14,000 people daily.

The polluted water can cause cholera and typhoid fever. Water pollution has led to the
deaths of more than 14,000 people daily.
Land pollution is the destruction of the earth’s land surfaces. It is often caused by human
activities such as careless disposal of wastes, over-mining of minerals and wrong use
of land for planting. All these will affect our health in the long run. They will lead to all kinds
of diseases such as cancer, heart disease and breathing problems. Land pollution also brings
about natural disasters such as flash floods and landslides.

Air pollution is also the result of human activity where chemicals and other dangerous
materials
are released into the air. This happens through the release of carbon monoxide gas from
exhaust pipes of motor vehicles. Other gases such as sulphur oxides are released from the
burning of coal and oil. High air pollution levels can cause damage to the environment.
It also brings discomfort to humans and other living organisms. In the long term, air pollution
can cause serious breathing problems, lung cancer and heart disease.
