[Virtual Presenter] Good morning everyone, today we will be looking at the various types of pollution, their definitions and the effects on our environment. Let us begin with the first type of pollution..

[Audio] Pollution is a disruption of the natural environment caused by different sources, including human activities. It can take the form of air, water, land, and noise pollution. Air pollution is released by harmful substances while water pollution occurs when contaminated water affects our ecosystems. Noise pollution is when loud sounds disturb our peace and land pollution is created by waste disposal. Radioactive pollution is when radiation from nuclear sources enters the environment..

[Audio] Pollution is a growing issue with serious consequences. It is directly linked to human activities that cause the emission of hazardous material into the environment. These pollutants can have adverse effects on air, water, and land quality, threatening human health and the natural environment. Furthermore, it may also lead to financial losses. To counteract the environmental damage caused by pollution, activities that release these substances must be halted..

[Audio] Pollution is an increasingly worrying issue that affects all living things on our planet. This slide shows us the five main types of pollution - air, water, noise, land and radioactive. Air pollution is when pollutants from human activities, such as burning fossil fuels, are released into the atmosphere, leading to a destabilisation of the atmosphere's delicate balance. Water pollution occurs when contaminants from human activities enter freshwater sources, disrupting the delicate water cycle. Noise pollution is generated by loud and intrusive noises which could have a detrimental effect on health and wellbeing. Land pollution is caused by human activities which degrade soil and affect ecosystems. Radioactive pollution is when radioactive materials are released into the environment, posing a great risk to all life within it. All of these sources of pollution are highly detrimental to humans, animals, and the environment. We must take action to reduce the impact of pollution and restore balance to the environment..
