Depletion of The ozone layer is an invisible layer of protection
ozone layer around the planet that protects us from the sun’ s
harmful rays. Depletion of the crucial Ozone layer of
the atmosphere is attributed to pollution caused by
Chlorine and Bromide found in Chloro - floro carbons
(CFC’s). Once these toxic gases reach the upper
atmosphere, they cause a hole in the ozone layer,
the biggest of which is above the Antarctic. The
CFC’s are banned in many industries and consumer
products. Ozone layer is valuable because it
prevents harmful UV radiation from reaching the
earth. This is one of the most important current
environmental problem

Pollution Pollution of air, water and soil require millions of
years to recoup. Industry and motor vehicle exhaust
are the number one pollutants. Heavy metals,
nitrates and plastic are toxins responsible for
pollution. While water pollution is caused by oil spill,
acid rain, urban runoff ; air pollution is caused by
various gases and toxins released by industries and
factories and combustion of fossil fuels; soil pollution
is majorly caused by industrial waste that deprives
soil from essential nutrients.

Biod iv ersit y Human activity is leading to the extinction of species
and habitats and and loss of bio -diversity. Eco
systems, which took millions of years to perfect, are
in danger when any species population is
decimating. Balance of natural processes like
pollination is crucial to the survival of the eco-system
and human activity threatens the same. Another
example is the destruction of coral reefs in the
various oceans, which support the rich marine life.

Of all of the environmental challenges facing the
planet today overpopulation is one that sometimes
slips under the radar. Issues like pollution, climate
change and water shortages all seem to take
precedence, but overpopulation is one of the main
contributors to many other environmental
issues.Overpopulation will place great demands on
resources and land, leading to widespread
environmental issues in addition to impacting global
economies and standards of living.The issue is
compounded by the difficulty in providing solutions
for this problem and misunderstanding of the causes
and effects of overpopulation.
