The word “pollution” indicates the presence on an unwanted foreign material into something.

Hence, with reference to the earth, pollution means the contamination of our natural resources by
different pollutants, produced mainly due to human activities. Today, pollution is the most
significant issue that concerns the health of our environment.
Industries emanating toxic gases and insoluble waste, damage our natural resources of air, soil
and water. There could be various examples of human induced pollutants, like – plastics, littering,
radioactive contamination, soil contamination etc. Pollution must be dealt with immediately and
globally as well. Natural resources, which we are losing due to pollution today, have been
produced in millions of years and might take another Million to repair.

How to Prevent Environmental Pollution

It is only human who can check the environmental pollution by limiting their bad activities. We can
stop environmental pollution by planting more trees and taking care of the existing ones. Reduce
the usage of vehicles, reuse and recycle items, proper disposal of waste, saying no to polythene
and maintaining a proper sanitation and cleanliness in our surroundings could also reduce
pollution.
Conclusion
Our environment and we, both are incomplete without the help of each other. Unknowingly we all
are creating problems and challenges to the environment and it is our responsibility that we
should try our best to maintain the healthy environment in order to continue the natural
processes easily.
