Essay on merit of pollution
Answers
Answer:
The waste is separated or produced by modification from from the things that we use and makes the uses of those things better for us in some way, as increasing the properties of the thing that we find useful, making it more efficient, making it less harmful to us and so on.
Another advantage is that what is waste to one person may become very useful to another for a different application. So, for instance, what made John Rockefeller rich (besides standardizing and organizing business practices for competitive advantage) was to take the huge part of petroleum that people believed were waste and refine it into useful products. Or a more current example, I’ve recently read that the rare earth mining slag that is ‘pollution’ is actually enriched for things that can be useful to us in the future such as thorium. Stewart Brand recommends not burying nuclear waste too deep, because in the future we will consider it a resource. Numerous other example abound.
.Pollution is the introduction of harmful and toxic chemical substances in the natural environment. It can be naturally occurring contaminants or foreign substances. With industrialization and growth in population there has been increase in pollution in the atmosphere. The air, water and soil have been severely polluted by human activities. Our ecosystem is affected by pollution in number of ways.
Effects of Pollution on Ecosystem
Ecosystem is the natural system made of diverse species in its physical environment. The natural ecosystem is highly diverse and complex in nature. The toxic chemicals in the atmosphere spread widely throughout the ecosystem. It affects the soil, plants and other organisms, both directly and indirectly.
Ozone hinders the process of photosynthesis in plant species. Ozone gets dissolved in plants and reacts with chemicals that cause number of problems. The process of photosynthesis slows down which results in slower plant growth. The primary ecosystem function such as plant growth and biogeochemical cycling is affected by contaminants in the natural environment which affects the ecosystem services.Ecosystem refers to the interaction between various organisms, plants, animals, fungi and bacteria. They form the entire food web where each depends on the one below it in the food chain. When the ecosystem gets polluted the natural balance in the ecosystem gets disrupted which effects different organisms in different ways. The pollutants like oil, nitrogen, detergents and phosphate can have negative impact on ecosystem especially if the water gets polluted. It can damage the ecological balance by adversely affecting the marine life. Thus, pollution hinders the natural cycle of ecosystem.
