Types of Pollution

There are several types of pollution, and they come from different sources and have different consequences. Pollution can take the form of chemical substances or energy, such as noise, heat or light. Understanding the basics of pollution can help environmentally conscious individuals minimize their contribution to these dangerous effects. These sources of pollution don't simply have a negative impact on the natural world, but they can have a measurable effect on the health of human beings as well.
