    The document discusses four types of contamination: air, water, land, and noise. Air contamination results from toxic emissions such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, lead, and nitrogen oxides. Water contamination changes water quality through human waste, chemicals, and industries. Land contamination occurs when chemicals or alterations change the natural soil. Noise contamination disrupts ambient sound levels mainly from transportation and construction industries. Solutions include driving and fueling carefully, not littering, floor cleaning, hearing protection, and absorbent/barrier materials.
