Pollution has become a significant environmental issue. Air pollution from vehicles and

factories releases harmful gases into the atmosphere, leading to respiratory problems. Water

pollution, caused by industrial waste and plastic, contaminates rivers and oceans, affecting

marine life. Soil pollution, due to pesticides and chemicals, depletes nutrients and harms

plants. The combined effect of these types of pollution is a deteriorating environment that

endangers human health and biodiversity.
