A result of deforestation is:

  • Air pollution: Trees play a crucial role in filtering air pollutants and producing oxygen. Their removal can lead to increased air pollution.

  • Poisoned water sources: Deforestation can disrupt water cycles and lead to soil erosion and runoff, which can contaminate water sources.

  • Climate changes: Deforestation contributes to climate change by increasing the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, as trees, which store carbon, are cut down.

While noise pollution is not typically a direct result of deforestation, the other three options are relevant consequences.
