    The document discusses the four main types of pollution: air, water, land, and noise. It provides details on the causes and effects of each type. Air pollution is caused by factory emissions and vehicle exhaust, which release carbon dioxide and other pollutants into the air. This leads to health issues like lung and skin diseases in people. Water pollution results from toxic waste and oil spills from factories and ships, contaminating drinking water and killing aquatic life. Land pollution occurs from improper garbage disposal and excessive fertilizer and pesticide use, poisoning soil and food sources. If pollution continues unchecked, most living things will be threatened.

     WHILE READING
    Read the text and check your answers to part B and C.
    In the modern world, pollution is a very serious problem because most of it comes
    from machines which man has invented to satisfy his daily needs.

    There are four different types of pollution. Firstly, there is air pollution. Factories
    and vehicles swallow oxygen, and their fumes poison the air with carbon dioxide (CO2)
    which creates smog. As a consequence, pollutants in the air make it hard for people to
    breathe causing lung and skin diseases. Also, when it rains, the chemicals in the air cause
    acid rain hurting the animals and plants. Another effect is the expansion of the Ozone hole,
    leading to more unfiltered ultra violet rays (UV rays) entering from the sun to earth. These
    rays can cause skin rash and cancer.

    Secondly, we have water pollution. Many factories dump their toxic waste in many
    rivers and lakes, and ships spill oil in oceans and rivers, as a result, drinking water
    becomes toxic and many aquatic animals and plants are dying in increasing numbers.

    Thirdly, there is land pollution. This type results from people throwing away so
    much garbage and not recycling most of it. Therefore, we have landfills growing in our
    cities which result in the death of many animals and plants. In the countryside, the use of
    fertilizers and pesticide sprays poison soil and water sources, and contaminate the food we
    eat.

    If nothing is done to stop pollution, most of us will die!
