Environmental pollution refers to the introduction of harmful pollutants into the environment. The major types of environmental pollution are air pollution, water pollution, noise pollution, thermal pollution, soil pollution and last one is light pollution. Deforestation and hazardous gaseous emissions also leads to environmental pollution. During the last 10 years, the world has witnessed sever rise in environmental pollution.
We all live on planet earth, which is the only planet know to have on environment, where air and water are two basic things that sustain life. Without air and water, the earth would be like the other planets – no man, no animals, no plants. The biosphere in which living beings have their sustain in oxygen, nitrogen, carbon-dioxide, argon and water vapor. All these are well balanced to ensure and help a healthy growth of life in the animal and help a healthy growth of life in the animal world. The balance does not only help the life cycles of animals and plants, but it also creates the perennial sources of minerals and energies without which the human civilization of today could not be built. It is for this that human life and other forms of existence have flourished on earth for so many thousands of years.
Environment pollution has negatively affected the life of both human beings and animals. Almost all of our gains in the fields of industrial progress, science and technology had so far been realize at the cost of our health. Even our flora and fauna were found to be threatened with extinction. All this really leaves us wondering it all our achievements and industrial civilization really help us climb the peaks of prosperity or simply take us down the blind alleys of adversity. This affect is not limited in a certain country. All over the world, even in Europe and USA, that question is being raised whether all is well with our industrial growth and process in the field of science and technology.
The worst industrial environment tragedy occurred at the Bhopal on Dec 3 1984 as a result of toxic and poisonous leakage of methyl isocyanate (MIC) gas from a multi-nation union carbide pesticides manufacturing plant over 2000 people including woman and children were killed, and hundreds were severely hurt. The water we drink, the vegetables are all contaminated today. As a result of this contamination, our world is afflicted with a quite a number of incurable diseases. Air pollution may cause sever lungs diseases, asthma, brain disorder etc. Noise pollution have negative effect on hearing or auditory sense organs. It can also cause deafness, tiredness and mental losses. Soil pollution may have negative effect on farm output ratio. It can also contaminate the ground water.
For the solution of all these problems, first of all people should be award themselves and government could at least make future plan on the industrialization. Researcher might find out how to avoid harmful smoke form running vehicles. Deforestations should be stopped and forestry should be developed. Discharge of factory wasted in rivers should be banned so as to make the river water free from pollution.
We might well notice of abnormal behavior of the seasons. The cycle developing clogs in its wheels, and the worried experts fear that the disturbed balance in the biosphere has assumed such serious proportion that very soon our world would be uninhabitable like Hiroshima of 1945. But it is heartening to find the entire world aware of the menace. Some of the advanced countries have already taken some measures to meet it. If we fail to restore the ecological balance right now, it would be too late tomorrow.
