Pollution and Solution
What is pollution?
Pollution is the
effect of unpleasant changes in the environment that have harmful effects on
humans, plants and animals, Pollution of all kinds have a bad and negative
effect on the environment and on human health.
Causes and Types of
Pollution:
Pollution is usually
caused by waste material that can disturb our ecosystem and environment, the
growth of industries, the development in technology and the growth in the use
of vehicles are the main reasons for pollution, pollution occurs in many forms
such as Air, water, soil, noise, and heat.
Following are the main
types of Pollution:
- Air pollution
- Water pollution
- Land pollution
- Noise pollution
Air Pollution:
Air is the main source
for pollution, dangerous gases like sulfur dioxide, carbon mono oxide, nitrogen,
and other chemical vapors are released from industries and vehicles which can
take part in the pollution of air, these dangerous gases produce smog and acid
rain.
Air pollution has
badly affected the ecosystem, air pollution creates a heart, lungs and respiratory
diseases.
Water pollution:
Water is an essential
element that can make life possible on this planet, without water life is
impossible, Water pollution is caused by many sources, the main source is when
the waste products of industries are dumped into water that causes the water
pollution, water pollution also results in the death of aquatic animals like fishes
and crabs, etc.
A large number of
waste products in water can increase the number of bacteria which can cause
many diseases.
Organic chemicals like
gasoline, plastics, cleaning solvents and detergents are another cause of water
pollution, which is harmful to aquatic and human health.
Soil pollution:
The main cause of
soil pollution is human-made waste, industrial waste products, waste disposals,
and acid rain, soil pollution has a direct effect on human health, affect on
plant growth, decrease soil fertility and change in soil structure, soil
pollution also has a direct effect on the quality and quantity of crops.
Soil is also polluted
by industries by discharging wastewater into rivers and oceans.
Noise pollution is
generally, man-made pollution, heavy machines, and factories can cause noise
pollution, household noises like TV Washing machine may also cause noise
pollution.
Noise pollution has a
direct effect on human health, it can damage the power of hearing, it can make
sleeping disorders, and it leads to hypertension and communication problems.
Noise pollution
disturbs the human activities that affect the standard of living, road traffic,
construction and airports are also cause of noise pollution.
Noise
pollution also causes psychological effects such as anxiety and stress and lack
of concentration and hence it may increase the rate of accidents, especially in
factories and industries.
How to reduce pollution:
Reduction of pollution
is a major global threat because pollution has harmful and unpleasant effects
on human health and on the environment, everyone should participate in the
prevention of pollution, we all should accept the responsibility for the cleaning
of the environment.
Here are some
solutions to pollution:
Every activity of
every person has a direct effect on the environment either good neutral or bad.
Stop smoking and don’t
throw the filter on the ground as cigarette filter is ecologically safe and
contain a huge amount of toxic soluble chemicals.
The filter of cigarette remains up to 25 years
and creates leaking chemicals like acetone, benzene, lead and toluene into the
environment.
Use hybrid cars and
keep your car in good condition to avoid emissions.
In the industrial
sector adjust and modify the production process that produces less waste
products, uses less toxic chemical products as cleaners.
Avoids plastics and
use eco-friendly products.
Using a dustbin is an effective way to reduce waste products which can keep our environment clean.
Planting trees is an
easy way to reduce pollution, trees improve the quality of air and
environment, the tree absorbs polluted gases and reduces the level of CO2 from
the environment.
