Environmental Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into a natural environment that causes instability, disorder, harm or discomfort to the

ecosystem i.e. physical systems or living organisms. [1] Pollution can take the form of chemical substances or energy, such as noise, heat or light. Pollutants, the components of pollution, There are namely these 8 Forms of pollution Air Pollution WATER POLLUTION Soil pollution Radioactive pollution Noise pollution Light pollution (includes light trespass, over illumination and astronomical interference. Visual pollution Thermal 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.[10] Motor vehicle emissions are one of the leading causes of air pollution.[ Adverse air quality can kill many organisms including humans. Ozone pollution can cause respiratory disease, cardiovascular disease, throat inflammation, chest pain, and congestion. Water pollution causes approximately 14,000 deaths per day, mostly due to contamination of drinking water by untreated sewage in developing countries.

Land pollution the action of environmental contamination with man-made waste on land. he main human contributor to pollution are landfills. Approximately half of our trash is disposed in landfills This group consists of inorganic salts, mineral acids, finely divided metals or metal compounds, complexes of metals with organics in natural water, organometallic compounds, trace elements and acid mine drainage. Several trace elements (few ppm) are found in polluted water. The most dangerous among them are heavy metals e.g. As (V), Cd, Cu, Hg, Cr etc and metalloids As, Se and Sb.

Radioactive pollution includes liquid and gaseous wastes from fuel, elements, low level radioactive wastes, various components of radioactive fall out, fission products, radio nucleotides etc.

Pollution control in environmental management means to control of emissions and effluents into air, water or soil. Without pollution control, the waste products from consumption, heating, agriculture, mining, manufacturing, transportation and other human activities, whether they accumulate or disperse, will degrade the environment. In the hierarchy of controls, pollution prevention and waste minimization are more desirable than pollution control. In the field of land development, low impact development is a similar technique for the prevention of urban runoff. Practices for reducing pollution are
