Environmental pollution consists of several basic types of pollution, namely, air, water, soil, noise, light, chemical, thermal, radioactive, visual and electronic pollution. Radioactive contamination is widely resulting from 20 century activities in atomic physics, such as nuclear power generation and nuclear weapons research manufacture and deployment. Thermal pollution is a temperature change in natural water bodies, caused by human influence, such as use of water as coolant in a power plant. Visual pollution, which can refer to the presence of overhead power lines, motorway billboards, scarred landforms, open storage of trash or municipal solid waste. Pollution can also be the consequence of a natural disaster. For example, hurricanes often involve water contamination from sewage and petrochemical spills from ruptured boats or automobiles. Thus pollution s simultaneously endangering life on earth and pollution is becoming closer to put life on the threshold of death. These harmful actions have changed earth and they continue to do so.
This volume studies various, significant forms of pollution.
