Article on pollution

Anything added into the environment that results in producing harmful or poisonous effect on living things is called pollution. Pollution is the process that makes nature's resources such as land, water, air and other parts of the environment unsafe or unsuitable to use. Pollution can be of many types: soil, air, water, thermal, radioactive, noise and light. The toxins released are inhaled by each one of us while we breathe. POLLUTION AND ITS CAUSES :- Inhaling poisonous air is as hazardous as smoking. It is not only humans who are affected from this polluted environment but also tge the animals. Air is filled with highly toxic gases. These dangerous gases in environment are releaed by the power industries that burn fossil fuels, industries that dispose wastes in water, farmers using pesticides, high usage of artificial lights and loud sounds, etc. Each of these leads to generation of the life threatening cause - pollution. Any use of natural resources at a rate higher than the nature's capacity to restore itself can result in pollution of air, water and land. Other than human activities, there are few periodic natural cycles that aslo result on release of dangerous stuff. Natural activities other than the human activities like volcanic eruption, dust wildfires, etc. also result in creation of pollution. Globalisation is another major cause of pollution. Globalisation has become an effective facilitator of environmental degradation. CONCLUSION :- Every individual owns certain responsibilities of maintaining few points such as not throwing garbage all around, growing trees, using public transport instead of their own, etc. We must shun excessive consumption and avoid careless and deliberate disposal of post consumption waste resources which could otherwise be recycled and would lead to pollution control. Pollution cannot be reduced or controlled if a sense of responsibility towards our Mother Earth is not felt by all concerned.
