1. Air pollution

Geochemical cycle refers to the chemical interactions in surface reservoirs such as the atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere. Pollution is any undesirable change in physical, chemical or biological characteristics of air, land, water or soil. Agents that bring about such an undesirable change are called as pollutants. Local flora and fauna is also affected by the pollutant. Balance of nature also gets disturbed as pollutant affects the living organism and composition of gases in the atmosphere.

Pollutant is a substance which when introduced into the environment has undesired effects. Pollutant causes long- or short-term damage by changing the environmental factors. Some pollutants are biodegradable and therefore do not persist in the environment in the long term. However, the degradation products of some pollutants are themselves polluting such as the products DDE and DDD produced from degradation of DDT.
