ACTIVITY 2
Instruction: kindly give what is being asked.

I. Water pollution
a. Causes: Some of the causes of water pollution are domestic sewage, oil
spills, radioactive waste, and plastics and garbage.

b. Effects:
1. Environment
The ecosystem can suffer greatly from water pollution. By lowering
oxygen levels and harming species with poisons, it can damage
aquatic life. Animals that depend on contaminated water sources for
drinking may also experience health problems or perhaps pass away.

2. Human health
Diseases like cholera, typhoid, and giardiasis can be brought on by
pathogens like bacteria, viruses, and parasites that are present in
contaminated water. Water pollution can also lead to the ingestion of
harmful substances for human health. It could increase the risk of
cancer, respiratory disorders, and long-term health concerns.

3. Economy
Water pollution has a negative economic impact on sectors that
depend on clean water, such tourism and fishing, which affects
fishermen's livelihoods. It can also deter visitors from visiting dirty
water bodies, which can result in financial setbacks for nearby
communities. Furthermore, public health and actual states also
significantly impact the economic, which in turn affects the overall
community economic well-being.

c. Some mitigations for the adverse impact of this pollution:

To effectively address water pollution, it is critical to comprehend the
underlying causes of the pollution. There are numerous practical ways that
can assist in reducing pollution in all bodies of water. These are
wastewater treatment, plastic reduction, water conservation, and green
agriculture, denitrification.
II. Land pollution
a. Causes: Some of the causes of water pollution are improper waste
disposal, deforestation, nuclear waste, mining activities, agricultural
activities, and urbanization.

b. Effects:
1. Environment
Land pollution effects to the environment are climate change,
deterioration of the fields, groundwater contamination, habitat
destruction and wildfires.

2. Human health
Land pollution can increase the risk of developing cancer, and it can
cause common respiratory problems such as asthma, chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchitis and pneumonia.

3. Economy
Degradation of the soil lowers crop productivity, which affects
agricultural productivity and perhaps resulting in financial losses for
farmers.

c. Some mitigations for the adverse impact of this pollution:

Considering the catastrophic consequences of land pollution, it is
imperative to take proactive steps to lessen its influence in the future.
Some mitigations are sustainable agricultural practices, reforestation, solid
waste treatments, implementation of reduce, reuse and recycle and
composting.
III. Air pollution
a. Causes: Some of the causes of air pollution are industrial activities,
transportation, power plants, agricultural practices, waste management,
and deforestation.

b. Effects:
1. Environment
Wildlife can be impacted by toxic contaminants in the air, on soils, or in
surface waters in a variety of ways. Animals can develop health issues
just like people can if they are exposed to high enough levels of air
toxics over an extended period of time. Air pollution could also reduce
sunlight, can damage crops and forest and can cause climate change.

2. Human health
Everyone's health is susceptible to the effects of air pollution. It can
induce coughing and itchy eyes. Air pollution can enter our
bloodstream through our breathing, causing or exacerbating a variety
of respiratory and lung conditions that can result in hospital stays,
cancer, or even early death.

3. Economy
Significant health problems brought on by dirty air have detrimental
effects on our economy. poorer crop yields, absenteeism, poorer
worker productivity, and premature mortality are all consequences of
air pollution for businesses. Pollution and the depletion of natural
resources can result from the production and use of products.

c. Some mitigations for the adverse impact of this pollution:

In order to address the issue of air pollution, significant efforts must be
made to reduce the emissions of pollutants from human activity. By
altering their lifestyle behaviors, such as consuming less energy in their
homes, cars, and other sources, every citizen may help reduce air
pollution.
IV. Noise pollution
a. Causes: Some of the causes of noise pollution are construction activities,
traffic, vehicles, event, catering and nightlife, animals and industrialization.

b. Effects:
1. Environment
Animals that are exposed to noise pollution may exhibit disruptions in
their feeding, mating, and communication habits. Noise pollution can
also cause habitat degradation.

2. Human health
Noise pollution have a various detrimental effects on human health
such as hearing damage, stress and sleep disturbances, impaired
cognitive performances, annoyance and irritability, interference in
communication, and adverse effects in the development of children.

3. Economy
Numerous economic factors are impacted by noise pollution, including
lost revenue from operations, health, property values, tourism, and
increased legal and regulatory expenses.

c. Some mitigations for the adverse impact of this pollution:

Adopt and uphold zoning laws and noise restrictions to regulate the
volume of noise in both commercial and residential locations. Inform
people on the dangers noise poses to their health. pollution and
encourage appropriate noise-emitting practices.
