Answer: LAND POLLUTION
Land pollution is a big threat to the environment. It is growing by the day owing to the increasing population as well as the rise in the industries around. Due to the increase in population and the growth of urbanization forests are being cut at a rapid pace to accommodate people. Forests are being turned into industrial and residential areas. Deforestation causes land pollution as it degrades the soil quality. Increase in population has also given rise to the household waste which again leads to land pollution.
The increase in the number of industries has added to the industrial and chemical waste. This type of waste is extremely hard to dispose and it contributes to the worst type of land pollution. Mining activities also cause harm to the land and cause pollution. The waste material that does not get disposed off easily decays over time and begins to produce foul smell. It does not only lead to land pollution but also contributes to air pollution and is a cause of various illnesses.
Land pollution and various other types of pollution are not just a problem in India but a global issue. The government of different countries must look into this matter seriously. People must also work on their level to bring it down.
WATER POLLUTION
Water Pollution is a matter of environmental concern as well as life and health of all living species. For a population of 7.8 billion growing at a rate of 82 million every year we have very little freshwater.
Only 2.5% of all the water available on earth is freshwater that we use for our daily needs. But, human’s desire to expand boundaries and explore commercial avenues have put stress on our freshwater resources, making them polluted as never before.
Many industries are set up near water bodies and use freshwater to carry industrial waste to the nearby water bodies. This industrial waste is toxic in nature and poses a health hazard to the flora and fauna. People in the settlements in the vicinity of polluted water bodies are observed to be suffering from serious skin, respiratory and sometimes even life-threatening other ailments.
Other the main cause of water pollution is urban waste and sewage. Every household produces tons of waste annually, consisting of plastic, wood, chemicals, and other compounds. In the absence of a proper waste disposal mechanism, this waste reaches our water bodies like rivers, lakes, streams and pollutes them. Water pollution must be prevented if we want the earth to be green, healthy and filled with life.
NOISE POLLUTION
Noise pollution is the pollution caused by the high and unsafe level of noise in the environment causes lots of health disorders to the human beings, animals and plants. Common problems caused by the noise pollution are stress related illnesses, anxiety, communication problems, speech interference, hearing loss, lost productivity, sleep disruption, fatigue, headache, irritability, nervousness, weakness, reduce sensitivity to sound which our ear receive to maintain body rhythm, etc. It causes gradual impairment to the hearing ability over a long period of time. Continuous exposure to high level sound causes permanent damage to the eardrum.
High level of the noise causes huge nuisance, injuries, physical trauma, bleeding around brain, large bubbles in organs and even death to the marine animals specially whales and dolphins as they use their hearing ability to communicate, find food, defend and survive in water. Source of noise in the water is navy submarine’s sonar which can be felt around 300 miles away. The consequences of the noise pollution are more dangerous and worrying in the near future.
There are many preventive measures of the noise pollution, some are like promoting soundproof rooms construction in the industries, industries and factories should be away from the residential building, repairing of motorbikes having damaged exhaust pipes, ban of noisy vehicles, airports, bus, railway stations and other transport terminals should be far from the living places, declaring silence zones near educational institutes and hospitals, allowing more vegetation along with roads and residential areas in order to reduce noise pollution by absorbing sound.
