Air pollution affects the air, water pollution affects the water and marine life, land pollution affects the land destroying life and the environment and there is also noise pollution that can affect our hearing. We all contribute to pollution in some way or another. Whether it is with a large amount or small amount we can still cause major damage to our health and the environment. Although we can all stop the increase of pollution, very few people realize that pollution is very harmful because they don't think of the environment, themselves and other people and what it can do. Pollution is an important factor to our lives. It involves our society and all other animals. Pollution is gradually destroying our planet and killing ourselves too. Like air pollution, smog and acid rain are killers to all of us. They destroy marine life, our own health, historical monuments and statues.
