There are so many types of pollution, which are you referring to?

There's air, water, soil, light, radioactive, thermal, visual, and more types of pollution. Just looking it in that light makes you see just how much pollution is affecting the world.

Motor vehicle emissions are likely the leading cause of air pollution.
Principal stationary pollution sources include chemical plants, coal-fired power plants, oil refineries, petrochemical plants, nuclear waste disposal activity, incinerators, large animal farms, PVC factories, metals production factories, plastics factories, and other heavy industry.

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.

According to Time magazine, "3.4 million die each year from water-related diseases." Air pollution is a similar problem. The State of World Population 2001 reports that "air pollution kills an estimated 2.7 million to 3.0 million people every year." It adds that "outdoor air pollution harms more than 1.1 billion people." As a specific example, it reports that "fine particulate pollution is responsible for up to 10 per cent of respiratory infections in European children." Yes, despite warnings and any action taken so far, problems related to these most basic elements needed for life have just been getting worse.
