Urbanization, oil spill, leaky landfill and deforestation are causes of pollution while desertification, smog, contaminated water are the effects of pollution.

Urbanization is generally associated with an increase in the number of industries. The waste materials in different forms from the factories pollute air, water and soil.

The effluents from factories released into rivers cause water pollution and harm the aquatic life. Water contaminated by industrial waste becomes unsuitable for drinking. Forests play a major role in controlling the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Deforestation increases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Oil spills usually occur in oceans and seas and it causes water pollution and threatens aquatic life.
