92 Pollution English ESL worksheets pdf & doc - Free Printable

It looks like you've uploaded a worksheet about types of pollution and their effects on the environment and people. Let's go through the task step by step and solve it.

Task 1: Label the pictures with the expressions from the box

We are given three types of pollution:
- Land pollution
- Water pollution
- Air pollution

And there are three images under the "TYPES OF POLLUTION" heading. We need to match each image to the correct type of pollution.

Let’s analyze the images:

1. Top left image: Shows trash in a forest or natural area — this is land pollution.
2. Top right image: Shows a polluted river with garbage floating — this is water pollution.
3. Middle image: Shows smoke coming from factories or vehicles — this is air pollution.

✔ So, label them as:
- Left: Land pollution
- Middle: Air pollution
- Right: Water pollution

Task 2: What are the effects of pollution on the environment and on people?

We are given a table with six pictures and asked to complete the table by matching each picture to one of these categories:
- Effects on the environment
- Effects on people

Let’s examine each picture and its effect:

| Picture | Description | Effect |
|--------|-------------|--------|
| 1. A dead tree in a forest | Tree dying due to pollution | ✔ Environment – Deforestation / damage to ecosystems |
| 2. A person wearing a mask | Person breathing polluted air | ✔ People – Respiratory problems |
| 3. A polluted river with dead fish | Water contaminated, killing aquatic life | ✔ Environment – Harm to wildlife |
| 4. A child with coughing/sneezing | Illness caused by pollution | ✔ People – Health issues (e.g., asthma) |
| 5. A factory emitting smoke | Air pollution source | ✔ Environment – Air quality degradation |
| 6. A person with skin rash | Skin irritation from pollution | ✔ People – Skin problems |

So, fill in the table:

#### Effects of pollution on people:
- Respiratory problems → Picture 2 (mask)
- Skin problems → Picture 6 (rash)
- Illnesses → Picture 4 (coughing child)

#### Effects of pollution on the environment:
- Harm to wildlife → Picture 3 (dead fish)
- Deforestation → Picture 1 (dead tree)
- Damage to ecosystems → Picture 5 (factory smoke)

> Note: The original table has two columns. You can assign each image to the appropriate column.

Task 3: With your partner, read text 1 and text 2 and find out the causes and the effects of each type of pollution.

Now, let's look at Text 1 and Text 2.

#### TEXT 1:
> *Because factories release fumes, the air around large cities gets polluted. Other effects of fumes are acid rain and holes in the ozone layer.*

Type of pollution: Air pollution

- Cause: Factories releasing fumes
- Effects:
- Air pollution in cities
- Acid rain
- Holes in the ozone layer

#### TEXT 2:
> *Many rivers and lakes become dangerously polluted because dangerous waste is dumped into them. This can cause death to animals and may lead to diseases.*

Type of pollution: Water pollution

- Cause: Dumping dangerous waste into rivers and lakes
- Effects:
- Death of animals
- Spread of diseases (in humans and animals)

✔ Final Summary:

#### 1. Label the pictures:
- Left image: Land pollution
- Middle image: Air pollution
- Right image: Water pollution

#### 2. Effects Table:

| Effects of pollution on people | Effects of pollution on the environment |
|-------------------------------|-----------------------------------------|
| Respiratory problems | Harm to wildlife |
| Skin problems | Deforestation |
| Illnesses | Damage to ecosystems |

*(Assign pictures accordingly)*

#### 3. Text Analysis:

| Pollution Type | Cause | Effect |
|----------------|-------|--------|
| Air pollution | Factories releasing fumes | Acid rain, holes in ozone layer, respiratory problems |
| Water pollution | Dangerous waste dumped into rivers/lakes | Death of animals, spread of diseases |
