introduction

As we know in today’s world

pollution is the major cause of
discomfort and illness among people.
pollution has been creating more
and more problems in our lives,
nevertheless, we are the ones who
spread pollution so now let us look
at the idea of pollution and how to
stop it

 pollution
The initiation of pollutants into the environment, either in the form of chemical substances
or energy (such as noise, heat or light), that can cause harm or discomfort to humans or
other living organisms or that damage the environment is called pollution.

Types of Pollution
The different types of pollution are listed below:

Air Pollution: Air pollution is the addition of particles, gases, and chemicals into the
Earth’s atmosphere that have the potential to affect human health and animal health
adversely. Air may get polluted by natural causes such as volcanoes, which release ash,
dust, sulphur and other gases, or by forest fires. Burning fossil fuels, mining operations,
exhaust gases from industries and factories are the few sources of air pollution that are
caused by humans. The impact of air pollution varied based on the pollutants released in
the air.
1. Noise Pollution: Noise pollution refers to an unwanted or
excessive sound that affects human health, wildlife and the
environment. Noise pollution is caused in two ways. Natural sources
such as volcanic eruption, thunder, etc., and man-made sources of
noise pollution include the use of heavy machinery, loudspeakers in
public gatherings, automobiles, firecrackers, etc.

2. Water Pollution: The contamination of lakes, rivers, seas, ocean, etc., due to
different sources of pollutants introduced in the water bodies that makes the
water unfit for drinking, washing, growing crops, etc., is known as water
pollution. The pollutants are generally introduced by human activities like
improper sewage treatment and oil spills. Water pollution is mainly caused by
two sources, point sources such as municipal and industrial discharge pipes and
non-point sources such as agricultural runoff, acid rain, etc.
(a) Marine Pollution Marine pollution can be defined as the introduction of substances
or particles to the marine environment directly or indirectly by humans resulting in negative
effects such as deterioration of human health, obstruction of marine activities and lowering the
quality of seawater. Petroleum, fossil fuels and oil spillage from the roads and during ship
accidents, etc., enter the water or sewage system causes water/marine pollution.
(b) Thermal pollution is caused by either dumping hot water from
factories and power plants or removing trees and vegetation that shade
streams, permitting sunlight to raise the temperature of these waters. This
has become an increasing and the most current pollution, owing to the
increasing call of globalization everywhere.
 Causes of pollution
1.The harmful gases released from automobiles, burning of fossils, mining
operations, spraying of pesticides and fertilizers, etc., are the main causes of air
pollution and soil pollution.
2.The dumping of plastics, human and animal waste, disposal of industrial waste
in the water and natural processes such as eutrophication can cause water
pollution.
3.The use of heavy machinery during the construction of buildings, horns of
vehicles, loudspeakers, etc., can cause noise pollution. Noise pollution has now
become very frequent due to compact urbanization and industrialization.
4.Nitrogen oxide, sulphur oxide, mercury, particulate matter,
chlorofluorocarbon, volatile organic compounds, etc., are the major harmful
pollutants that are responsible for environmental pollution.
 Fighting back pollution
1.Keep your surroundings clean; waste should be placed in bins.
2.Exhaust from automobiles and workshop machinery should be controlled.
3.Public transport should be used rather than private transport.
4.Wastage of water should be avoided by repairing and replacement of taps/knobs.
5.Industrial waste containing various harmful chemicals should be pretreated and sent to the drainage system.
6.Plastic usage can be reduced to avoid soil pollution.
7.Control of land loss and soil erosion can be attempted through restoring forest and grass cover.
8.Crop rotation or mixed cropping can improve the fertility of the land.
9.Sound pollution can be restricted by implementing strict rules like banning the use of loudspeakers or public part
systems at night.
10.Reduce the usage of electronic gadgets such as cell phones, computers, air-conditioners, fridges, etc.
11.Walk or cycle where it is safe to do so working is free, cycling can help to keep you fit. Observe world
environmental day on 5th June.
12.The planting of trees will help to absorb excess carbon dioxide.
Lets make the Earth
pollution-free
 summary
The current generation of children, adults, animals,
etc., are suffering from many diseases like
blindness, skin cancer, lung cancer, cardiac diseases,
etc., because of pollution caused due to the
different pollutants. The increase in temperature
causes global warming, acid rain, etc. We should
avoid throwing dead bodies, industrial wastes, oils,
etc., to the holy rivers like Ganga and Yamuna,
which impact the major cause of water pollution.
We can avoid environmental pollution by planting
more trees, using biodegradable covers, throwing
organic waste into plants that enrich soil quality,
etc.
