As the world is unremittingly changing, there are many attributes which are leading towards a flourishing life but on the contrary, some problems are spreading of great magnitude; one of them is pollution. The word, ‘pollution’ means to make dirty. Pollution causes imbalance in the environment. Environmental pollution is a serious problem. Everyone wants to reduce pollution. But the pollution problem is as complicated as it is serious. It is complicated because much pollution is caused by things that benefit people. For example, exhaust from automobile causes a large percentage of all air pollution. But the automobile provides transportation for millions of people. Factories discharge much of the material that pollutes air and water, but factories provide jobs for people. Too much fertilizer or pesticide can ruin soil, but fertilizers and pesticides are important aids to the growing of crops.
“Pollution is nothing but the resources we are not harvesting. We allow them to disperse because we’ve been ignorant of their value”.
The emission of greenhouse gases has led to climatic changes. The increase in pollution has resulted in global warming. Global warming is an average increase in the Earth’s temperature due to greenhouse effect as a result of both natural and human activity. Pollution causes different types diseases. Air pollution causes allergies, asthma, lung cancer and bronchitis. Radioactive pollutants cause respiratory problems, paralysis, cancer, and other diseases. Excessive noise pollution can lead to deafness, anxiety, stress, increase in the rate of heart beat and other health problems. The depletion of the ozone layer can also result in skin diseases. In order to fight this peril of pollution, dynamic efforts should be made. The Anti-pollution law should be strictly practiced. In order to check water pollution, the sewage and the factory waste should be properly treated and cleaned before being discharged. Trees should be planted everywhere and vehicles should be made Eco-friendly. Public education and awareness of the relationship between climate change and human health is key to deal with problems more effectively. General awareness is must to save our planted from destruction. All the nations of the world should work united to control environmental pollution.
