Atmospheric pollution is the presence in the air of small particles or gaseous secondary products that may imply risk.
The main sources of outdoor air pollution are domestic energy consumption for cooking and heating, combustion vehicles, power generation, incineration of waste and agricultural waste, and industry.
Some of the consequences may be accelerated aging of the lungs and loss of lung capacity, development of diseases such as asthma, bronchitis, emphysema and possibly cancer, shortening of life.

Water becomes contaminated through the medications we flush down the toilet or the oil we pour down the sink. Waste that is thrown into the sea or rivers. So are microplastics, whose concentrations in the sea are increasing rapidly.Some of the consequences are: destruction of biodiversity, contamination of the food chain, shortage of drinking water, diseases.

Deforestation is a human-caused process through which forest mass is eliminated. The cause of deforestation is economic and environmental instability. Forests and jungles are direct sources of raw materials, fuels and components of medicines, so, in the long term, the lack of these resources can also lead to this.

layladuran280907 — 2024-08-28 18:19:22 UTC

Global warming results from the increase in the greenhouse effect, a process in which thermal radiation emitted by the Earth is trapped in the atmosphere due to greenhouse gase. Its presence is natural and necessary to maintain the planet's temperature at habitable values.The main causes are Energy, Agriculture and livestock, Transportation, Industry and Waste.
