In the environment there are different interactions between animals, plants, soil, water, and other living and non-living things. • Since everything is part of the environment of something else, the word environment is used to talk about many things. People in different fields of knowledge use the word environment differently.

How we are polluting environment • Look at any ecosystem and there could be multiple forms of contamination— streams full of toxic chemicals from industrial processes, rivers overloaded with nutrients from farms, trash blowing away from landfills, city skies covered in smog. Even landscapes that appear pristine can experience the effects of pollution sources located hundreds or thousands of miles away. • Pollution may muddy landscapes, poison soils and waterways, or kill plants and animals. Humans are also regularly harmed by pollution. Long-term exposure to air pollution, for example, can lead to chronic respiratory disease, lung cancer and other diseases. Toxic chemicals that accumulate in top predators can make some species unsafe to eat. More than one billion people lack access to clean water and 2.4 billion don’t have adequate sanitation, putting them at risk of contracting deadly diseases. 4 6/5/2021 Add a footer Causes of pollution • The Burning of Fossil Fuels. • Industrial Emission. • IndoorAir Pollution. • Wildfires. • Microbial Decaying Process. • Transportation. • Open Burning of GarbageWaste. • Construction and Demolition. 5 6/5/2021 Add a footer how we can protect our environment • Ten SimpleThingsYou Can Do to Help Protect the Earth • Reduce, reuse, and recycle.
