Pollution is the release of chemical, physical, biological or radioactive contaminants to the environment. Principal forms of pollution include:
air pollution, the release of chemicals and particulates into the atmosphere. Common examples include carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), and nitrogen oxides produced by industry and motor vehicles. Ozone and smog are created as nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons react to sunlight.
water pollution affects oceans and inland bodies of water. Examples include organic and inorganic chemicals, heavy metals, petrochemicals, chloroform, and bacteria. Water pollution may also occur in the form of thermal pollution and the depletion of dissolved oxygen.
soil contamination often occurs when chemicals are released by spill or underground storage tank leakage. Contaminants include hydrocarbons, heavy metals, MTBE, herbicides, pesticides and chlorinated hydrocarbons. Often occurs with water pollution, thanks to surface runoff and groundwater.
radioactive contamination, added in the wake of 20th-century discoveries in atomic physics. (See alpha emitters and actinides in the environment.)
noise pollution, which encompasses roadway noise, aircraft noise, industrial noise as well as high-intensity sonar.
light pollution, includes light trespass, over-illumination and astronomical interference.
visual pollution, which can refer to the presence of overhead power lines, highway billboards, scarred landforms (as from strip mining), open storage of junk or municipal solid waste.

pollution are the mixing of unwanted things to the environment. air pollution is the mixing of harmful chemical to the environment. noise pollution is the noisy surroundings made by the people. people keep on playin loudspeakers in marriges without kowing that there is already much pollution.

if you see somethng in the air, that is pollution, nothing should be there. if you see something in the water other than water, it is polluted, if you hear somethng other than youself, it is sound pollution, if you read/do something you are not supposed to, that is a soul pollution!
