There are many types of pollutants, and they are classified by the parts of the environment they pollute. The most common are water pollutants and air pollutants.
Arsenic
Biological Decomposition of Environmental Pollutants-Biodegradable Pollutants such as plastic bags. Some of the most notable air pollutants are sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, ozone, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and airborne particles, with radioactive pollutants probably among the most destructive ones (specifically when produced by nuclear explosions). Our Air Pollutants article provides a clear overview of sources and effects of these air pollutants. Water pollutants include insecticides and herbicides, food processing waste, pollutants from livestock operations, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), heavy metals, chemical waste and others. Some soil pollutants are: hydrocarbons, solvents and heavy metals.
Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, and Oxygen are the four most common elements.
Groundwater, simply, is the water beneath the surface of the ground.
The four most common forms of precipitation are;rainsleetsnowand hail
Groundwater is obtained from the ground by making a well and pumping the water
Four types of penguins are common in Antarctica, and the most common depends on where you are on the continent. The four types are Emperor, Chinstrap, Adelie and Gentoo.
The most easily polluted groundwater reservoirs are water table confined aquifers.

Precipitation
The teo most common pollutants that mix with water in the air are sulfur oxides (SOx) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) These pollutants create acids with water. The combination is known as Acid Rain or Acid Precipitation.
