REMEDY

Multiple steps should be carefully made by both governments and individuals properly to limit at maximum this factor. These steps include:

• Providing a personal waste bin at areas and locations such as homes, offices, industries etc.
• Government should implement policeis on this factor for proper disposal of wasre.
• Pipes should be channeled adequately and disposed at proper places.
• Be rational in dealling with your environment.
• Burnig and proper disposal of refuses that are nonbiodegradable.
• Provision of incinerators at vital locations for proper disposal of waste , etc.

EFFECTS OF ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION

This has numerous effects on both living things and ecosystem. The effect includes

• Introduction of epidemic diseases around areas affected.  
• Death of both animals and aquatic lives.
• Damages on the ecosystem.
• Contamination of the water bodies.
• Em migration of habitats from affected areas.
• Introduction of infections.
• Discrimination among humans etc.

SOURSES OF LAND POLLUTION

Land pollution affects our immediate environment. This is basically caused by human activities also which may include dumping of waste products indecently, mismanagement of incinerators etc. 

SOURCES OF WATER POLLUTION

Water pollution are mainly caused by human activities such as channeling of pipe lines into water bodies, oil spillage and indecent disposal of waste and refuses into water bodies. This could cause serious introduction of BOD( Bio Oxygen Demand) which may be detrimental to aquatic lives and even the proper use of the water.

SOURCES OF AIR POLLUTION

Air pollution comes from both natural and man made sources. Though globally man made pollutants from combustion, construction, mining, agriculture and warfare are increasingly significant in the air pollution equation^.
Motor vehicle emissions are one of the leading causes of air pollution. Principal stationary pollution sources include chemical plants, coal-fired power plants, oil refineries, petrochemical plants, nuclear waste disposal activity, incinerators, large livestock farms (dairy cows, pigs, poultry, etc.),  PVC factories, metals production factories, plastics factories, and other heavy industry. Agricultural air pollution comes from contemporary practices which include clear felling and burning of natural vegetation as well as spraying of pesticides and herbicides.

TYPES OF POLUTION

Air pollution:  this is the contamination of the atmosphere. It is the release of harmful substances such as chemicals and particulates into the atmosphere. Common gaseous air pollutants include carbonmonoxide, sulpur dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and nitrogen oxides produced by industries and motor vehicles. Photochemical ozone and smog are created as nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons react to sunlight.

Water pollution: This is the contamination of the water bodies by the release of waste products and contaminants into surface runoff into river drainage systems, inadequate channelling of pipes into the water bodies, leaching into groundwater, liquid spills, wastewater discharge and littering. this adversely affects the aquatic lives and use of rivers, streams by man.

Land pollution: This is the contamination of lands and our immediate environment by the introduction of waste from our homes, inadequate disposal of waste and refuses, oil spillage etc. This however, affects the activities of man and living organisms.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION

Environmental pollution is the introduction of contaminants into an environment that causes instability, disorder, harm or discomfort to the ecosystem and living organisms. pollution can take the form of  chemical substances or energy such as noise, heat, or light. It is the contamination of the environment in quantity which may be dangerous to living things.
