(Chapter Notes)
CBSE Class 8 - Science - Ch 18 Pollution Of Air and Water - Chapter Notes (#cbseNotes)

Pollution is release of harmful substances in the environment thus causing threats to our ecosystem. Even non-harmful substances when precipitated in environment can be harmful. Land, water and air are the most important natural resources. Man made factors (agriculture, industrialization, transport etc.) are the primary reasons for the pollution.

According to World Health Organizations, five millions deaths occur in India due to pollution.
Pollution can be classified in many categories like:
  • Land Pollution
  • Air Pollution
  • Water Pollution
  • Noise Pollution
  • Light Pollution
Here we discuss primarily about Air pollution and Water pollution.
