Land, air and water pollution are the major environmental hazards that poses great danger to both human and animal health. Pollution refers to introduction of elements to the ecosystem that can cause harm to the various components of the environment in one way or another. Let us look at each of these pollution methods in-depth.
Land Pollution: This is caused by release of harmful materials into the land. This waste includes domestic waste, municipal waste and non-biodegradable materials such as plastics. These materials make the land unsuitable for various economic activities such as agriculture.
