Pollution in the air, water, soil, and land has severe negative impacts on human health and the environment. It kills many organisms and causes problems with breathing. Factories in the U.S. release over 3 million tons of toxic chemicals each year into the environment, contaminating over 15 million acres of land. Water pollution is a major global problem and the leading cause of deaths and diseases worldwide. Soil contamination is usually caused by chemicals from ruptured underground storage tanks, pesticide use, and contaminated surface water seeping into soil and subsurface areas, as well as oil and fuel dumping.
