Vehicles, refineries: For air: smoking, oil refineries, vehicles are the main and common causes.
For water: excessive dumping of wastes to the river beds, like body wastes, bottles, plastic bags, oil from refineries, cigarettes and very poor drainage. My recent trip, i observed these.

Stop water pollution: Eliminate all of the chemicles we put in our washing machine.They are extremely harmful to your body but they pollute the ground water and traces are found in our waterways.The list of carcinigous chemicals in laundry detergent is long enough, but some of the fabric softners are far worse.Then, you add all the chemicals in maintaining a nice looking yard and garden that washes off into the drain sew.
