These include, but are not limited to, light, noise, air, land/soil, water, and visual pollution. The main source of world pollution recognized to be most harmful to people and organisms is Air Pollution, mainly because its effects are so widespread.

How factory owners are responsible for polluting rivers?

Factory owners are responsible for polluting rivers by releasing untreated wastewater containing harmful chemicals and pollutants directly into the water bodies. This practice can lead to water contamination, harming aquatic life, ecosystems, and potentially affecting human health if the polluted water is used for drinking or irrigation. Lack of proper waste management practices and regulatory oversight can exacerbate the pollution caused by these industries.
