15. Environment Pollution

15. Environment Pollution

Nowadays one of the greatest problems facing the modern civilization is environment pollution. The chief cause of environment pollution is the population pressure on environment.

Environment pollution means fouling of the purity of things around us. Air pollution, water pollution, soil pollution, noise pollution are some types of pollution.

The pollution of air, water and soil is not only threatening the quality of life but the very survival of human beings. Environment pollution is one of the major and serious problems that are being faced by the developing countries. The ecological balance of the earth is being threatened by it. Air and water are polluted by various toxins. The noise pollution has destroyed the peacefulness of our surroundings. The main sources of pollution are the increasing vehicular traffic and garbage. The petrol and diesel being used in the vehicles gives out poisonous smoke. It contains dangerous gases like carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxide. All those inhaling these gases catch deadly diseases like bronchitis, asthma, and other breathing problems. The accumulating garbage gives out foul smell and is the birth place of many communicable diseases. Various industries pollute both the air and water by sending out poisonous smoke and waste matters in water courses. The increasing felling of trees, building dams and upcoming of congested localities have destroyed the clean environment.

Human life is, thus, in real danger. There is a need of planting of more trees at every possible area of land. There is also a need of shifting industries to places far from the human population.
