    acid rain

    phophate dumping

  5. noise

    All that other stuff mentioned above (and below?) is the result of people.  People getting on with their lives, making a living. growing food, going places, getting things, reading books, watching videos...  Pollution (just like Soylent Green) is PEOPLE!!

    Get rid of all the people, all the pollution stops.

  7. rediculous question there are no one word example ,if it was one word it would be meaningless to you

    Air polution =smoke from industrial chimneys & coal fires generating electricity,and burning trash and tires,carbon emissions from cars,and the use of gas sprays

    Soil polution=using agro chemicals ,like fertilizers,herbicides,pesticides  in farming

    Water polution=raw sewage added to water flows like cannals and rivers ,trash dumped on rivers edges ,agro chemicals that are washed into rivers fron deforrested mountain sides by the rains ,oil spills that contaminate coastal waters,thousands of women that do the washing in rivers using harmfull detergents.

  8. Al Gore's PR, talking about how people who are producing green house gasses are endangering the planet.

  9. light. once upon a time ago, you could see the night sky w/o extra light (parking lots, stores, street lamps, etc.).  today? i'm having trouble zeroing in on the moon and that's big, yellow & a 'can't miss it' type of celestial thing.

    Contamination, plumes, leachate, sewage, garbage, junk,

  12. Air pollution, the release of chemicals and particulates into the atmosphere. Common examples include carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), and nitrogen oxides produced by industry and motor vehicles.

    Water pollution via surface runoff and leaching to groundwater.

    Soil contamination occurs when chemicals are released by spill or underground storage tank leakage. Among the most significant soil contaminants are hydrocarbons, heavy metals, MTBE, herbicides, pesticides and chlorinated hydrocarbons.

    Radioactive contamination, added in the wake of 20th-century discoveries in atomic physics. (See alpha emitters and actinides in the environment.)

    Noise pollution, which encompasses roadway noise, aircraft noise, industrial noise as well as high-intensity sonar.

    Light pollution, includes light trespass, over-illumination and astronomical interference.

    Visual pollution, which can refer to the presence of overhead power lines, motorway billboards, scarred landforms (as from strip mining), open storage of trash or municipal solid waste.

    Thermal Pollution, is a temperature change in natural water bodies caused by human influence.
