What pollution causes the most damage and why?

Answer 1

I would assume the cold war

Answer 2

Nuclear pollution is the most dangerous type of pollution. Answer: On a worldwide basis the number of deaths and illnesses from pollution can be significant. Some sources indicate that up to 40% of all deaths ae related at least partly to pollution. Gases causing global climate change are the most significant as they are likely to caue wordwide problems over the next hundred years.

The principle immediate problem would be contamination of drinking water by fecal pollution from sewage and diseases passed on by poor sanitary waste disposal.

Air pollution from industrial sources such as particulate, sulfur dioxides, volatile organics and toxins would probably be second.

Industrial pollutants such as benzene, Mercury, lead,asbestos, arsenic, seelenium etc would be low but measurable

Pollution from radioactive sources such as radon (from granite and drywall), smoke detectors, denatured uranium would be considerably lower than deaths from secondhand smoke. a damage from power plants, X-rays etc would be even lower.

Answer 3

Air pollution, particularly from burning fossil fuels, causes the most damage to human health and the environment. It contributes to respiratory diseases, heart conditions, and climate change. Emissions from vehicles, industries, and power plants release pollutants like particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, and sulfur dioxide, impacting air quality on a global scale.

Answer 4

I think the pollutants that do most damage are carbon oxides, freons, and heavy metals.
