Pollution has become a global problem today. It has completely changed our Earth and is damaging the environment day by day, which is making our life more difficult. Many types of organisms and species are slowly going extinct due to these harmful effects of pollution.
Types of pollution
1. Air pollution
Air pollution is considered the most dangerous pollution, the main reason for this pollution is the smoke emanating from industries and vehicles. Harmful smoke emanating from these sources also creates obstruction in breathing for people. Increasing industries and vehicles have increased air pollution day by day. Which has caused many health problems related to bronchitis and lungs.
2. Water pollution
Waste from industries and homes is often found in rivers and other water sources, which pollutes them. Our rivers, once considered clean and sacred, have become the home of many diseases today because they have been found in large quantities of plastic material, chemical waste and many other types of non biodegradable waste.
3. Land pollution
The industrial and domestic waste which is not disposed of in water, is spread on the ground. Although many efforts are made to recycle and reuse it, there is no significant success. Due to such land pollution, mosquitoes, butterflies and other insects thrive in it, which causes many diseases in humans and other organisms.
4. Sound pollution
Noise pollution arises from loud sound machines running in factories and other loud noises. Along with this, it also increases the noise pollution due to the vehicles moving on the road, the sound produced due to bursting of firecrackers, loud speakers. Noise pollution is the main cause of mental stress in humans, which, along with many side effects on the brain, reduces hearing power.
5.Light pollution
Light pollution is caused by excessive and excessive generation of light in an area. Light pollution is caused by excessive use of light objects in urban areas. Objects that produce excessive light without any need increase the light pollution, which causes many problems.
6. Radioactive pollution
Radioactive pollution refers to pollution that is generated in the atmosphere by unwanted radioactive elements. Radioactive pollution arises from weapons explosion and testing, mining etc. Along with this, the components generated as waste in nuclear power stations also increase radioactive pollution.
7. Thermal pollution
Water is used as a coolant in many industries, which is the main cause of thermal pollution. This causes aquatic organisms to face problems such as temperature changes and lack of oxygen in water.
8. Visual pollution
Things made by humans that affect our vision are subject to visual pollution such as bill boards, antennas, garbage cans, electric poles, towers, wires, vehicles, multi-storeyed buildings etc.
World's most polluted cities
While many cities of the world have succeeded in reducing the level of pollution, in some cities this level is increasing very fast. Cities like Kanpur, Delhi, Varanasi, Patna, Peshawar, Karachi, Sijizhuang, Heje, Chernobyl, Bamenda, Beijing and Moscow are included in the list of world's most polluted cities. The quality of air quality in these cities is quite poor and along with this the problem of water and land pollution is also increasing day by day, due to which the standard of living in these cities has become quite pathetic. This is the time when people need to control the pollution level along with developing cities.
Ways to reduce pollution
Now that we have come to know the causes and effects and types of pollution, now we have to make efforts to stop it. By following some of these measures, we can control the problem of pollution.
1. Car Pooling
2. Say no to firecrackers
3. Recycle / Reuse
4. Keeping your surroundings clean
5.Using limited use of pesticides and fertilizers
6. Putting trees
7. Use Compost
8. Not using light excessively and excessively
9. By making stricter rules regarding the use of radioactive substances
10. By making stringent industrial rules and regulations
11. By planned construction
