People get exposed to various kinds of pollution by consumption of contaminated water or food, inhalation of pollutants present in air and by absorption of substances into human cells though skin by diffusion or osmosis.
We are constantly get exposed to one or the other form of pollution which has been the major cause of diseases, health issues and decreased longevity in India.
The waste we dump gets into soil and water bodies though the process of leeching contaminating them and therefore when we use these sources we also get exposed to pollutants present in them.
