The most light-polluted country is Singapore.

The increasing number of household appliances (televisions, laptops, smartphones, refrigerators) and generally one-person households (higher heating costs per m²) are increasingly polluting our air - both directly and indirectly.

Water Pollution

2020-12-01 13:11:57 UTC

Many people throw their trash in the ocean and don´t know the effects. But every year more than one million animals die because of water pollution. Unfortunately plants are affected too. There are many types of water pollution. For example petroleum products or pesticides and many more. The pollution increases toxic chemicals too.

2020-12-01 13:13:03 UTC

-every day over 2 million tons sewage are disposed of by industries
-in china more than a half of the groundwater is contaminated
- water animals eat for example plastic and die or they tangle in the plastic

-Jeldrik10-

Industry is responsible for a large proportion of water pollution. The water is polluted with the disposal of toxic chemicals or important production by-products.

AIR POLLUTION

2020-12-01 13:18:20 UTC

Air pollution is the release into the air of pollutants that are harmfull to the environment and health.
These pollutants include smoke, soot, dust and exhaust gases

WATER POLLUTION...

Is responsible for 3% of all deaths.
Problems with plastics is an enormous problem.
Contaminated wastewater can lead to health consequences such as malaria, cholera and diarrhoea.
Every day, 2 million tonnes of wastewater are disposed of in the water.

Water pollution, well the deliberate and unlawful pollution of water, is a criminal offense.After the unauthorized handling of hazardous waste, water pollution is the second most common environmental crime.The German Federal Criminal Police Office recorded a total of 4415 cases in 2003.

The soils are often polluted with pollutants through erosion and buildings (streets, houses, ...). Climate changes and intensive economic activity can disturb the balance of the soil. Also if humans don´t dispose their trash well, the soils will be full of plastic bags, bottles and other trash which is supossed to be in a Garbage can.

Noise pollution affects us and makes us sick. It is often caused by traffic noise (the biggest disturbance factor), noisy machines at work or noise from airplanes. The hair cells in our ear could break down, damaging our hearing. We also react differently to noise. When we are in a bad mood, we are more sensitive to the noise that is caused.

caused 520,000 people deaths prematurely in 2014.
It has already been scientifically confirmed that a consequence of air pollution reduces life expectancy.
Natural events such as a volcanic eruption, forest fires or ordinary pollen flight may also account for a small proportion of air pollution.

-it´s never completely dark
-in light polluted cities you can´t see stars at night
-effects insects
-sleeplessness in humans
-affects biological day-night circle of many animals

-bjarne9-Germany

The disruptive influences from defect of darkness.

2020-12-01 13:38:40 UTC

1. The first problem is the insect dying. Because their are lot´s of nocturnal insects and they need the darkness.
2.Many Animals have also problems with their day - night cycles.
3.Many people are insomnia, because of the many lights.
4.You can´t really see stars or things like the milky way or your own star sign.

Some raw materials, especially rocks, naturally have higher basic contents. Examples would be the increased radioactivity in granite or the higher exposure to the heavy metals chromium, copper, nickel and zinc in some clay stones or magmatites.

Light Pollution

2020-12-01 13:48:25 UTC

The Light Pollution describes the permanent absence of complete darkness in the ares of the earth.
The process, that lead to this state is called light immission.
The night sky is brightened by artificial light sources, especially whe the light is scatterd in the air.
The light is scattered in the air layers of the earth´s atmosphere, with which the superimposition of natural darkness is connected.
Normally you can see with a clear view 6500 stars, but in citys with a strong Light Pollution you can only see a few stars or none at all.
Some of these states are New York, Berlin and most of all Singapur.

-Charlotte10 -Germany

Light pollution (also called "fog of light") is the artificial illumination of the night sky. The light in the atmosphere, where there is dust and water, reflects/illuminates the air, creating a mist. It pollutes the natural light. Light pollution often occurs in populated areas. The biggest disturbance factors are illuminated buildings, Street lighting and neon signs. Appropriate to the season, increasing Christmas lighting is also a problem

some sources of interference are craftsmen, pets, various means of transport such as airplanes or cars, church bells or construction site noise.

LAND POLLUTION...

2020-12-01 14:05:04 UTC

The land is the basis for the production of our food, and therefore one of the most precious goods of mankind.
Almost a quarter of the land area used by humans today is damaged by erosion, valuable soils are increasingly built over or damaged by the introduction of toxins.
Contaminations impair the properties and functions of the soil.

Land pollution has a direct impact on the environment and consequently on the health of humans, animals, and plants, soil pollution is a real problem that involves both political powers and citizens.
Soil is not a renewable resource.

Its degradation can be rapid (a few years or decades) while it takes several thousands of years to form and regenerate.

Air pollution; It is the reaching of pollutants in the form of dust, smoke, gas, water vapor in the atmosphere to a level that will harm humans and other living things. Traffic, industry and heating systems are sources of air pollution. Reasons such as rapid urbanization, changing to the wrong regions, poor quality fuels and unsuitable combustion systems also lead to an increase in air pollution. In clinical studies, it has been determined that these pollutants increase respiratory diseases.

Air pollution is all around us. Many people in the world live in areas with high levels of air pollution. It harms human health, reduces quality of life, and can negatively impact the economy.

Air pollution is also strongly linked to climate change - greenhouse gases. Not only human activities cause air pollution. There are also natural sources including particles of soil dust and salt in sea spray.
