The problem of environmental pollution has become very serious in\nrecent years all over the world. Today, the air that we inhale is polluted. Our\nfuture generations will suffer from the harmful effect of pollution if we do\nnot tackle the problem now. There are different forms of environmental\npollution like water pollution, food pollution, air pollution, noise pollution,\nland pollution etc. No doubt, our progress and development is the result of\nindustrial growth and technological advancement. But, this progress has a\nnegative influence on the environment. Pollution makes the environment unfit\nfor living. It becomes a health hazard. The unbalanced industrial growth is the\nmain cause of air and water pollution. In India, waste from refineries and\natomic plants are dumped into the rivers or seas which pose a serious threat to\nthe health of the people living in its surrounding areas or far away.\nConsequently, freshwater resources are depleting very fast and water-borne\ndiseases are on the rise. Agricultural runoffs in rivers are another major\nwater pollutant as they contain fertilisers and pesticides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today,\nwe cut down trees and plants on a large scale. Air purification and generation\nof oxygen by trees and plants goes down due to the rampant erosion of the green\ncover. When forests are cut down, we face the problem of soil erosion too. Air\npollution is one of the major ecological problems man is facing today. Air\npollution is prominent in big cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Ahmedabad, Kolkata\netc. where the smoke is emitted from the chimneys of mills and factories,\nburning agriculture stubble and noxious\nfumes from automobiles. Thus, air becomes polluted and we are bound to inhale\nsuch polluted air. Inhalation of the polluted air gives rise to numerous\ndiseases especially in children and the elderly. Besides, water and air\npollution, we also face the problem of noise pollution today. The problem with\nnoise is not only that it is unwanted, but also that it negatively affects\nhuman health and well-being. Problems related to noise include tension, hearing\nloss, sleep loss, high blood pressure, distraction and loss of productivity,\nloss of concentration etc. which lead to a general reduction in the quality of\nlife. Land pollution is caused due to dumping and disposal of wastes and\napplication of agrochemicals in the soil. Deforestation also leads to land\npollution. Cutting of trees means uneven and lesser rain pattern.\nOverexploitation of soil, overgrazing and cutting of trees lead to soil\nerosion. \n\nHence, it is necessary to start tree plantation as a social service and\nnational programme. Deforestation should be totally stopped. Pollution of any\ntype is the greatest threat to our life because it causes many fatal diseases\nlike cholera, tuberculosis, asthma and even cancer. So, pollution control\nmeasures must be used. We must take immediate and effective steps to fight\npollution. We must reduce vehicular and factory smoke. To trap smoke particles,\nsmoke chambers should be made. Gases should be discharged through exhaust pipes\nhigher in the air. Chemical industries should not be allowed to be set up on\nthe riverbanks. We must stop the dumping of chemical wastes into our rivers,\nlakes and seas. Plastic and other hazardous waste materials should be subjected\nto recycling. Noise pollution must be made a punishable offence. We must grow\nmore trees and protect our forests. Pollution is harmful for all and therefore\nconcerted efforts should be made to eliminate all kinds of pollution. The\nsooner effective steps are taken, the better will be the tomorrow for mankind.\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
