Pollution is the process of making the environment pollute the water and the air by
adding harmful substances. Pollution causes an imbalance in the environment.
This imbalance threatened the very survival of all forms of life. It's a threat to the
whole world. India ranks at the bottom of 125 of the 132 countries in the 2012
Environmental Performance Index. This report is produced by researchers at Yale
and Columbia University in association with the World Economic Forum.

Pollution of the environment is a serious problem of industrialized

societies. Industrial development and the green revolution have had a
negative impact on the environment. People have converted the life
support system of all living people into their own resources and have
greatly disrupted the natural ecological balance. Serious degradation and
depletion have been caused due to overuse, abuse and mismanagement
of resources to meet human greed.
Environmental pollution is defined as the adverse alteration of our
environment. It is a by-product of human activities that are directly or
indirectly responsible for the changes in the environment. These changes
could be in the physical, chemical or biological characteristics of air or
water that are harmful to human life and other living things. Population
explosion, rapid industrialization, deforestation, unplanned urbanization,
scientific and technological advancement, etc. The main causes of
environmental pollution. About 35% of India's total area is seriously
polluted. Three-quarters of the land is water, but there is a shortage of
drinking water. In India, water sources are found in ponds and river lakes
have been polluted and are unfit for consumption. Due to the increased
use of fertilizers, seas and oceans have been contaminated with harmful
pollutants.
The industrialization has led to urbanization. The migration of the rural
population to cities in search of work has created an unhealthy
environment. This has led to overcrowding and the establishment of slum
areas. Cities and cities are full of smoke, smoke, dust, gas, smell and
noise.
Nuclear explosions and nuclear tests also pollute the air. The spread of
radioactive material in the air has increased. This radioactive pollution can
cause cancer, abnormal births and mutations in men.
The Taj Mahal in Agra is affected by the fumes emitted by the Mathura
refinery. The reports estimate that the monument would be destroyed in
twenty years because of the harmful effluents from the refinery's
emissions.
Water pollution changes the quality of the water. This disrupts the
balance of the ecosystem and poses health risks. Water is polluted by the
presence or addition of inorganic and organic or biological substances.
Industrial effluents that are discharged into rivers further increase the
levels of water pollution.
Soil pollution usually results from the elimination of solid and semi-solid
wastes from agricultural practices and unhealthy habits. The soil is heavily
polluted by hazardous materials and micro-organisms that enter the food
chain or water and create many health problems.
The present issue is that it is increasing day by day as a result of many
polluting sources. Humans and human-created machines are of
contaminants. To put it another way, pollution is wreaking havoc on
Mother Earth, and we, as humans, must do everything we can to prevent
it. Pollution prevention is critical because it protects the environment by
conserving and protecting natural resources while also boosting
economic growth by allowing industry to produce more efficiently and
reducing the amount of waste that needs to be handled by households,
businesses, and communities.
