Indoor and outdoor noise pollution sources include car alarms, emergency
service sirens, mechanical equipment, fireworks, compressed air horns, ground
keeping equipment, barking dogs, appliances, lighting hum, audio entertainment
systems, electric megaphones, and loud people.
Indoor air pollution and urban air quality are listed as two of the world's worst
pollution problems in the 2008 Blacksmith Institute World's Worst Polluted
Places report.
WATER POLLUTION : is the contamination of water bodies (e.g. lakes,
rivers, oceans and groundwater).
Water pollution affects plants and organisms living in these bodies of water;
and, in almost all cases the effect is damaging not only to individual species and
populations, but also to the natural biological communities.
Water pollution occurs when pollutants are discharged directly or indirectly into
water bodies without adequate treatment to remove harmful compounds.
When a power plant first opens or shuts down for repair or other causes, fish
and other organisms adapted to particular temperature range can be killed by the
abrupt rise in water temperature known as 'thermal shock'.
The the higher the graph the better the condition of river.

NOISE POLLUTION
Effect: Can cause sleep disruption in humans and animals, hearing loss, heart
disease (as a result of stress), and in severe cases even mental instability.
AIR POLLUTION
THERMAL POLLUTION
Cause: Discharged of heat and warm water power stations or industrial fields in
excess heat in the environment.
Effect: Aquatic organisms will die due to high temperature and less oxygen.
How to overcome: Plant more trees and reflect the sunlight ray back to
atmosphere.
WATER POLLUTON
Effect: Increase bacteria in water, cholera, bad odour and High BOD
The conclusion that can be made base on what have been done previously
were there are 4 type of pollution that are noise, air, water and thermal.
Noise pollution can cause many injuries to living things and can lead us to
deaf or death. Sound made by aircraft, motorcycle and trucks are the example of
noise pollution made by them.
While thermal pollution mostly occurs at urban area. The place where many
building were built. These building were made by concrete that absorb heat.
Plus, hot or warm water from the power station release to the environment can
disturb the ecosystem especially aquatic creature.
Lastly water pollution is one of the common pollution we always heard. The
main factors are domestic waste, industrial waste and agricultural waste. Human
discard these things into the drain or river that run free. The garbage can make
the water current slow or maybe block the river completely. Sungai Juru in
Kedah is one of the dirtiest river in Malaysia.
REFLECTION
We should think wisely before doing anythings. One wrong step can
cause disaster to our ecosystem and environment. Maybe we got much money
from deforestation, but in the end we lost our tree and animal. Not only that, the
river that run free also run not freely.
The air that we breath now days are dirty than the first time we born. The
smoke, car fume, dust and carbon monoxide can cause our life to end.
Lastly, as the person who want to keep the earth clean from pollution, we
should take care our environment seriously.
