Answer:

The type of pollution demonstrated is sediment pollution.

Explanation:

  • Sediment pollution is the deposition of waste products in rivers, lakes and streams by the means of soil erosion.
  • So in the abandoned construction site, sediment pollution is the major issue that causes the environment's wind and water to pollute heavily.
  • The waste is swept and carried to different places that pollutes the environment badly due to the exposed construction site.
