Population Ecology, usually focusing on the abundance Water cycle is, simply saying, the circulation of water in

lead to air pollution are the following: pollution to the following categories:
 Motor vehicle exhaust Petroleum products Synthetic agricultural chemicals
 Heat and power generation facilities Heavy metals Hazardous wastes
 Industrial processes  Auto manufacturing Excess organic matter Sediment
 Fertilizers plants  Building demolition Infectious organisms Air pollution
 Solid waste disposal  Solvent evaporation Thermal pollution Soil pollution
 Volcanic eruption  Fuel production
 Roadway construction
 Electrical components manufacturing
 Extraction of metals  Forest fires
