Pollution

Pollution has bee as any significant change in the physical, chemical or biological characteristics of the air, water and land that many negatively affect mankind, whether directly by being harmful to people or indirectly by causing natural resources to deteriorate.

Pollution can come from some natural processes such as volcanic eruption and erosion that accompanies heavy rains. But nature can handle and cleanse itself from their type of pollution. What it finds difficult to remedy in excessive pollution resulting from man’s activities.

Air pollution comes mostly from industrial and motorized vehicles. Water and land pollution come mostly from domestic agricultural and industrial wastes. A major pollutant from agriculture is pesticide residues. A major industry to pollution is the introduction of materials that do not decay (or non biodegradable materials) in the environment.

Serious pollution problems are found in urban areas where may people live. They also found in localities where there are highly pollution activities like tanning animals like for the manufacturing leather, hog raising, to name a few.
