According to Effects of Pollution by Scott Forseman, pollution is defined as the addition of any substance or form of energy to the environment at a rate faster than the environment can accommodate it by dispersion, decomposition, recycling, or storage in some harmless form. In my course of research, I uncovered many forms pollution. However, the ones I included were the forms of pollution that may interfere with our present and future existence. In this paper, air, water, and land pollutions have been identified and explained, as well as the consequences of these pollutants, also some possi...

Some evidence suggests that MNCs generate 50% of the greenhouse gases causing global warming, which isn't surprising when MNCs used to be the main producers in the world for chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs).13 However, MNCs now put more efforts in the production of fossil fuels, which as is scientifically proven, when burned produces the greenhouse gases we are all familiar with causing global warming. ...
Water pollution happens because of the industrial waste, sewage waste and water waste, mining activities, marine dumping, accidental oil leakage, burning of fossil fuels, chemical fertilizers and pesticides, leakage from sewer lines, global warming, radioactive waste, urban development, leakage from the landfills, animal waste and underground storage leakage. ...
