Answer 1

Answer:

The two types of pollution that are demonstrated in this real world example are:

• Toxic pollution and
• Sediment pollution.

Explanation:

• The new development that is being built is the main source that causes the pollution of stream through sediment process.
• Sediment is the process of carrying the waste through erosion and decomposition of plants and animals.
• Similarly the leaked oil antifreeze is highly toxic and hazardous to environment.
• The acid presence in the antifreeze onto the pavement is very harmful for the micro organisms as well.
