Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into the natural environment that destabilizes ecosystems and causes harm. There are several types of pollution including air, water, noise, and land pollution. Air pollution harms living organisms through the introduction of chemicals and particulate matter into the atmosphere. Water pollution affects both aquatic plants and animals through environmental contaminants in bodies of water. Noise pollution is environmental noise that negatively impacts human and animal life. Land pollution occurs through the destruction of land surfaces, often caused by improper waste disposal during periods of industrialization.
