__TOC__
==Air Pollution==
:''Main article: [[Air Pollution]]''
Air Pollution is generated by some buildings, is effected by the wind, and can negatively impact [[Health]] when it blows across areas where your population works or lives. Over time Air pollution levels in a [[region]] can increase and produce a haze that hangs in the air.
==Ground Pollution==
:''Main article: [[Ground Pollution]]''
Ground Pollution is the result of unclean industry, [[sewage]], and [[Waste Disposal|garbage]] practices within your city. Ground pollution accumulates over time, and can cause sickness in buildings over top of it, as well as polluting your water table.
==Water Pollution==
:''Main article: [[Water Pollution]]''
Water Pollution occurs when [[Water Tower]] or [[Water Pumping Station]] is constructed on top of areas affected by ground pollution. Sims using the polluted [[water]] will become sick.
==Radiation==
:''Main article: [[Radiation]]''
Radiation is caused by the meltdown of [[Nuclear Power Plant]] or [[Meteor Strike]].
