Pollution occurs when pollutants contaminate the natural surroundings; which brings about changes
that affect our normal lifestyles adversely. Pollutants are the key elements or components of
pollution which are generally waste materials of different forms. Pollution disturbs our ecosystem
and the balance in the environment. With modernization and development in our lives pollution has
reached its peak; giving rise to global warming and human illness.

Ecosystem disruption
Humans affect ecosystems both directly and indirectly, and these effects can range from minimal to
catastrophic. Through fossil fuel combustion, humans have disturbed the makeup of the breathable air,
changed the quality of the soil and water and have altered the types and distributions of plants and
animals around the globe. These effects can act singularly, though they more frequently act in concert
with one another within ecosystems.

Human resource use
Natural resources are resources that exist without the actions of humankind. This includes all valued

include sunlight, atmosphere, water, land, air (includes all minerals) along with all vegetation and
animal life that naturally subsists upon or within the heretofore identified characteristics and
