Essay on Pollution in English
Answers
Pollution is mixing some impurities or waste into a pure substance. It is the adulteration or contamination of natural resources by deliberate human activities. We can also say the presence of unexpected or unwanted substances in a location is also pollution. We are alarmed by the emission or mixing of harmful chemical substances in our daily life. Due to pollution, the nature, environment, Earth, atmosphere, and waters are all becoming degraded. It is a matter of serious concern. Thus, the pollution we debate about is about the man made gradual destruction of what God has provided us to live with. As we see environment and pollution are closely interrelated.
There are many kinds of pollution. They are air, water, land, noise and light pollutions.
Our planet's ecosystem and its cycle is affected by pollution. There are international voluntary organizations that monitor and raise alarms. There is a national level governmental organization and a pollution control board in each state to control the pollution. For awareness among people Earth day and other such days are celebrated world wide.
1. Air pollution
By using oil based vehicles, we are emitting harmful gases in to air. Many manufacturing plants emit harmful gases too. Many people in many countries burn wood, waste and paper causing smoke to rise into the atmosphere. Thus carbon oxides, Sulphur oxides, Flourine and derivatives mix with air. They reduce the proportion of oxygen. ChloroFluoroCarbides and other gases reduce ozone layer and allow more of the dangerous Ultra Violet radiation to pass on to the surface of Earth. Global warming and melting of ice in polar regions and on Himalayas are results of fossil fuel burning etc. Acid rains with sulphuric acid or other contaminants cause harm to people and drinking water reserves. Many people may suffer from T.B. or other diseases by absorbing harmful chemical substances through skin too.
It is probably impossible to eliminate air pollution. To mitigate the risks, we may use LPG, Bio-diesel (green diesel), electric, solar vehicles, bicycles or public transport as much as possible. To regenerate more oxygen and to reduce global warming, we must plant more trees wherever possible. Forests must be grown in many areas (green movements).
Conservation of energy policies, and green building techniques can ultimately reduce less burning of fossil fuels.
2. Water pollution
The drinking water is polluted by chemicals, waste water, plastics, oils, paints, and by the dissolution of gases to which water is exposed to. Adequate arrangements must be made for filtering, removing excess fluorine or radicals and adding minerals in necessary quantities. Swach Bharat program has a program for this.
Further, rivers must be cleaned so that people, who bathe in rivers and drink river water, remain healthy. That is important as a substantial percentage of people use rivers that way in India. Some people throw garbage into rivers. Some factories eject effluents into rivers and seas. Suitable measures to prevent such activities must be made.
Due to air and water pollution, the seasons summer, winter, spring and autumn are occurring over improper durations. Rains are not falling at proper times in sufficient quantities.
Further, various ships travelling on seas, also do cause oil pollution. There is also ocean litter. Many animals and fish could die or acquire chronic diseases. These could pass on to people eating those meat.
3. (Noise) Sound pollution
Noise pollution is use of horns, high volume sounds or music in public places. This is not serious as much as the other factors. When sound is used in higher volumes than required, it impacts the health of people who are forced to hear that. Often on the roads, drivers honk their horns in all kinds of traffic.
4. (Soil) Land pollution:
Due to rains nutrients from farming lands get washed away. Due to environmental pollution or radiation, the soil may get deficient. Improper use of pesticides and fertilizers also causes soil pollution. Ash from nearby factories falls on agricultural lands rendering them non-cultivable. Radiations from nuclear substances can also affect lands.
5. Light pollution
Improper artificial man made lighting near oceans or rivers causes sea animals to falsely change their behaviour.

Introduction: In this era of science, there are some curses on where there is some boon to human beings. Pollution is a curse that is born from the womb of science and most people are forced to bear it.
Pollution means: Pollution means-blaming fault in natural equilibrium. Not getting pure air, getting pure water, getting pure food, or getting a peaceful environment.
There are many types of pollution! Major pollution - air pollution, water pollution and noise pollution.
Air Pollution: This pollution in the metros has spread more. Twenty-four hours there, the smoke of factories, black smoke of motor vehicles has spread like this that breathing in healthy air has become confusing. The women of Mumbai go to take out the washed clothes from the roof, then black-black particles get frozen on them. These particles go into the human lungs with respiration and give birth to incurable diseases! This problem is more where there is densely populated, there is a lack of trees and the environment is tight.
Water Pollution: The contaminated water of tomorrow-factories produces fierce water pollution in the river basins. At the time of flood, the waste water of the factories gets dissolved in all the drains. This causes many diseases.
Sound pollution: Humans need a peaceful environment to live. But nowadays, noise of the factories, noise of traffic, molten sound of motor vehicles and loud speakers, has given birth to deafness and stress.
Side effects of pollution: Due to the above pollution, the health of the human life has been threatened. The man is craving till long breathe in the open air. Due to dirty water, many diseases go into the crops that reach dead in the human body causing deadly diseases. Thousands of people died due to the gas emanating from the Bhopal gas factory, so many people became crippled. Due to environmental pollution, there is no rain on time, nor does the cycle of cold-summer cycle run smoothly. The cause of natural outbreaks like dry, flooding, wetting is also pollution.
Due to pollution: Excess use of scientific instruments, fridges, coolers, air conditioning, power plant etc. are more guilty to increase pollution. Deteriorating natural balance is also the main reason. The cutting of the trees to blindfolding makes the cycles of weather impaired. Due to lack of greenery in densely populated areas pollution has increased.
Improvement measures: To avoid various types of pollution, more trees should be planted, the amount of greenery is high. There are dense trees along the roads. Populated areas should be open, airy and green with water. Tomorrow-factories should keep away from the population and think of ways to destroy polluted stools out of them.
