Environmental
pollution
Pollution has become a very common yet serious issue in
today’s world. It has been there in different forms since a
long time even before human evolution such as volcanic
eruptions, wildfire which lead to various photochemical
reactions in the atmosphere. The current concern is that it
is rising day by day due to various resources of pollutants.
And, one of the main pollutants are humans and man-made
machines. It is right to say that pollution is damaging the
mother earth severely and we, humans, should play our part
to prevent it from happening.

What is Pollution?
Pollution sepsis is the presence of contaminants in the
natural environment that causes harm and damage and
therefore leads to adverse changes.
Kinds of Pollution
There are mainly three kinds of pollution:
Air Pollution
Air Pollution occurs due to the presence of harmful gases and
substances in the air. It is due to vehicle emission, dust and dirt,
poisonous gasses from the factories etc. To reduce air pollution, we
should use carpooling or public transport rather than using our private
mode of transportation whose harmful gas emission only adds to the
problem, we should also actively avoid burning trash or other materials
etc.
Water Pollution
Water Pollution happens when toxic substances get mixed in various
water bodies such as lakes, oceans, rivers etc. Here toxic substances
refer to the Chemical fertilizer, Industrial waste, Sewage and
wastewater, Mining activities, Marine dumping etc.
Soil Pollution
Soil pollution depicts the contamination of soil due to the presence of
toxic substances due to Excessive use of fertilisers and pesticides,
deforestation, industrial waste etc. To maintain the soil’s fertility, the
government must limit the usage of fertilizers and plant more
trees.There are a few other pollutants causing pollution apart from the
aforementioned ones, such as Radioactive pollution. This is one of the
rarer types of pollution. It occurs due to the presence of radioactive
substances such as the presence of nuclear waste in air, solids, liquids
or any other place.

How To Control Environmental Pollution?
The biggest solution to environmental pollution
is afforestation, i.e. plantation of more and more
trees. The trees help in reducing the carbon
footprint or carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
This results in a decrease in the greenhouse
effect and, therefore, global warming. Planting
more trees helps in maintaining the ecological
balance in our environment.
Measures to Prevent
Environmental
Pollution
Upon learning about the harmful effects of
pollution, it is everyone’s responsibility to take
some steps towards prevention. We should be
aware of all the possible preventive measures to
help reduce every kind of pollution such as to curb
air pollution, we should avoid bursting crackers
during any festival or using public transport or
carpool to reduce air pollution or cutting down the
usage of loud loudspeaker, and public honking
would help in noise pollution. We should always be
aware of this situation and take measures
accordingly. It’s us who should be cautious in the
beginning and make everyone else surrounding us
conscious as well. We should take eco-friendly steps
like planting more trees, reducing the usage of
plastic, using more sustainable products in the
household etc. while talking about the pollution of
the entire world, you should always remember that
every small step will lead to a bigger impact one
day.
