POLLUTION

Is the contamination of water  bodies , usually as a result of human activities, in such a manner that negatively affects its legitimate uses. Water bodies include for example lakes, rivers, oceans, aquifers, reservoirs and groundwater. Water pollution results when contaminants are introduced into these water bodies. For example, releasing inadequately treated wastewater into natural waters can lead to degradation  of these aquatic ecosystems .

All plants and organisms living in or being exposed to polluted water bodies can be impacted.

Atmospheric pollution is the presence of undesirable material in the air in quantities large enough to produce harmful effects.

Many of these harmful materials enter the atmosphere from sources currently beyond human control.

Toxic pollution is contaminated water, soil, and air that is harmful or poisonous. It includes industrial wastes like toxic heavy metals from mining or chemicals from factories, and also sewage and particulates from power plants. ... In fact, toxic pollution is the largest cause of death in the world

Causes of environmental pollution

Excessive logging.
Industrial emissions and discharges to the atmosphere and the hydrosphere.
Extraction, processing and refining of fossil fuels (oil, coal and natural gas).
Production of energy with fossil fuels and other non-renewable sources
Human activity is one of the main causes of pollution. Technological development has made important strides in improving the quality of life, but it has also had a significant impact on the environment. For instance:

Industrial development.
Excessive use of gasoline or diesel vehicles.
Gas emission.
Production and indiscriminate use of plastic.
Large production of non-biodegradable waste.
Population growth.
The need to extract more natural resources.
The rise of cattle breeding.

Air pollution produces negative effects on both human health and the environment. 
Air pollution is also the cause of global environmental problems such as acid rain, the deterioration of the ozone layer, or climate change
Ambient air pollution accounts for approximately 4.2 million deaths per year due to strokes, heart disease, lung cancer, and chronic respiratory diseases. About 91% of the world's population lives in places where air quality levels exceed WHO limits.

Tips for less Pollution

Plastic is one of the most important pollutants in our land and ocean.
Use biodegradable dishes
Keep the glass jars or else you will not use it, put it in the garbage bag
stop drinking bottled water the most preferable thing is to boil the water and drink at home
Among the waste we generate, we can highlight plastic as one of the most polluting and frequent. They are made from petroleum, they pollute during their manufacture and incineration, they take thousands of years to decompose, and some of the inks that are printed on plastic are toxic
