Acid rain - rain mixed with acids formed by gases released into the atmosphere when fossil fuels are burned.
Air pollution is the introduction of harmful materials into Earth's atmosphere, causing disease, death to humans, damage to other living organisms such as food crops, or the natural or built environment.
Water pollution is the contamination of water bodies (e.g. lakes, rivers, oceans and groundwater).
Soil pollution is caused by the presence of human-made chemicals or other alteration in the natural soil environment. It is typically caused by industrial activity, agricultural chemicals, or improper disposal of waste.
