What is pollution?
According to my understanding of National Geographic's definition, pollution is the introduction of harmful chemicals into the area or environment. Some types of pollution are water pollution; air pollution; soil pollution; light pollution and sound pollution. The cause of pollution is harmful chemicals going into an area where it can't be disposed of through a natural cycle, example: chemical pollution into bodies of water and soil through improper disposal practices and agricultural activities, and noise and light pollution created by cities and urbanization because of population growth). One example of pollution is when industries and homes generate garbage and sewage that can and will pollute the land or the water if not disposed of properly. Pollution affects the Earth's soil, water, and air by contaminating them with dust, smog, toxic gas, and toxic chemicals.
