Air
Air is a mixture of many gases like nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen, carbon
dioxide and other gases.
Due to the increased number of factories and industries, the air is
increasingly becoming polluted.
To reduce air pollution, the number of factories can be reduced and
alternate sources of energy can be used.
Water
About 71% of the earth’s surface is covered with water
Most of it is found in seas and oceans
The available reserves of water are getting polluted
In order to save the depleting reserves of water, some techniques like
rainwater harvesting can be implemented.
Soil
Soil is another important natural resource
Soil contains many essential nutrients that are required for the growth of
crops
Soil is increasingly getting polluted due to the following reasons
o Over usage of fertilizers
o Release of polluted water into the soil
o Dumping of wastes in the soil
Soil pollution can be prevented by
o planting more trees
o reducing the use of fertilizers
o using organic manure
