Essay on Environment Pollution
by-Harshita Soni
What is the Environment?
The conditions in which we live, work, and the natural world, for example- land, water, and air is called Environment.
The presence of harmful chemicals and substances in the Environment is called pollution.
While polluted air can cause illness and death, water pollution kills fish and marine life, and soil pollution reduces soil fertility and land for growing food. As a result, pollution is now a massive disaster for the earth.
Pollution is the cause of increasing global warming. In big cities, pollution is increasing day by day. Even in villages now the pollution is increasing.
Pollution is a severe and complicated problem because benefits of man environmental pollution cause.
It can be defined as an undesirable change in any components of environment pollution is now everywhere globally. This is because there are many side effects of pollution.
The only way to control the pollution is trees, but trees are being cut around the world, that’s why rain is decreasing everywhere except mountains.
Pollution is causing global warming, winter is too cold, and summer is too hot. The sole way to deter it is to plant trees. Trees can only handle it. There are four kinds of pollution-Air, Water, Soil, and Noise.
The leading cause of pollution is air pollution. Air pollution turns hazy and clean air into dirty air. Smoking also causes air pollution. Water pollution reduces the clean water drinking water.
Air Pollution
Air pollution is increasing day by day, and it is the pollution that is increasing in the highest amount.
It is caused because of vehicles and factories. Nowadays, vehicles are running and increasing day by day on the road.
Now, big factories and power plants are planted everywhere, which causes air pollution.
When we burn plastic, air pollution increases. if this is not in control, it can damage the Environment.
Water Pollution
This has now become 2nd most significant problem globally.
Do you know Brazil has an enormous quantity of fresh water in the world?
There is only 1% drinking water available in the world. Water pollution implies the contamination of water bodies, usually due to human activities.
Nowadays, the chemical wastes from factories are drained in fresh lakes, ponds, rivers. Sea and oceans are highly polluted.
Do you know, Adidas made the shoes from ocean plastic and created 11 million pairs of shoes from ocean plastic.
You can judge how much plastic will be there in the sea, and plastic is not a composable substance.
Water pollution is reducing fish and marine life. If we don’t stop, the day will come when the earth will be out of water.
Water is necessary for living; if there will not be water, how anyone can survive.
Soil Pollution
Soil pollution causes when we discharge the waste directly on the soil. Soil pollution is increased by poor agricultural practices.
Soil pollution can be expressed as contamination of harmful chemicals. The primary factor due to which soil pollution exists is industrialization.
Harmful irrigation practices which cause a reduction in the fertility of the soil are also one of the causes of soil pollution. When we put plastic in the soil but it doesn’t decompose.
Noise Pollution
In this modern world, speakers and DJ’s are common everywhere. But listening in high volume can be dangerous for serious diseases such as – deafness, headache, etc.
So we have to care about the volume, so it doesn’t damage us. Sometimes the loud horns of the vehicles also cause noise pollution.
But in modern days the population is increasing so fast . that people are cutting trees to make lives for themselves, due to which greenery is going to finish.
We can take some steps to reduce environmental pollution.
Recycling is the most `useful process for reducing pollution. Awareness along the people should be created. Tree cutting should be discouraged. Antipollution devices should be installed in factories.
To maintain the soil’s fertility, the government must limit the usage of fertilizers and plant more trees. The government should make a decree to limit the amount of pollution.
In the future, we can avoid pollution by using electric cars, CNG cars and many others ways.
We have to control the pollution to save the earth. However, pollution can only be prevented cannot be ended.
Be a part of the solution, Not a part of pollution
Best Ways to Reduce Air Pollution
- Using public transport.
- Turn off the lights when not in use.
- Recycle and Reuse.
- No to plastic bags.
- Reduction of forest fires and smoking.
- Use of fans instead of Air Conditioner.
- Use filters for chimneys.
- Avoid the usage of crackers.
