• Read the passage carefully. Once finished, copy on a separate sheet and fill out the table
with the appropriate words that match the headings below:

Humans are often harmed by pollution. The presence of the hazardous substances brought
about by these three major types of pollution: land, air and water gravely affects our health.
For instance, a person may acquire skin problems and other deformities from the toxic wastes
present in the land that we live in such as garbage, pesticides, heavy metals and other
chemicals. Air pollution caused by toxic gases, solid and liquid particles or aerosols, and other
hazardous air pollutants adversely contaminate the air that we breathe. Long-term exposure to
air pollutants has been linked with diseases of the heart and lungs, cancers and other health
problems. Lastly, water pollution observed in our primary water sources like oceans, rivers, and
lakes is caused by the presence of industrial wastes, sewage and waste waters, chemical
fertilizers and pesticides to be specific. Infectious diseases can be acquired through
contaminated water and can cause cholera, jaundice, liver damage and stomach illness in
people.
