4. Read the paragraph and decide whether the statements are true (T) or false
(F).
There are three main kinds of pollution - air pollution, water pollution,
and noise pollution. Air, which is the most important element of our
environment for our survival; can be polluted in many ways. Smoke in the air
from mills, factories, and industry contains carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide,
and methane, which are all poisonous gases. This leads to health problems like
asthma and lung diseases and the thinning of the ozone layer, which protects us
from harmful UV rays. China, the USA, Russia, India, Mexico, and Japan are the
leaders in air pollution emissions. Water is also polluted by the discharge of
commercial and industrial waste into surface water. Sewage in drinking water
is another cause of water pollution as it contains germs and viruses. The noise of
vehicles, mills, and factories can be really unbearable. This kind of constant
sound also causes headaches, tension, mental stress, and migraines. People living
next to a building site where there is too much noise can become sick, as they

cannot sleep or relax. This is called noise pollution.
