Question

Explain about pollution of ganga and yamuna rivers and effects of air pollution on taj mahal?

Answer 1

POLLUTION OF GANGA RIVER

The main causes of water pollution in the Ganges river are the increase in the population density, various human activities such as bathing, washing clothes, the bathing of animals, and dumping of various harmful industrial waste into the rivers.

POLLUTION OF YAMUNA RIVER

The most polluted river Yamuna. ... Despite such an esteem status, rivers are being polluted due to open sewage drains, lack of sufficient sewage treatment plants, soil erosion, and by dumping plastic garbage in river water etc.


EFFECT OF AIR POLLUTION ON TAJ MAHAL

Taj Mahal is slowly decaying due to air pollution. Dense smog created by human activities is slowly discoloring the marble and turning it to sickly yellowish-brown color.
Now the question rises who is to be blamed. There are several factors: heavy traffic, wood-burning crematoriums, smoke from neighbouring factories, and Agra’s growing population, the last of which demands more and more water. As the Yamuna River dries up, it risks sliding the Taj Mahal off its picturesque banks into a sea of mud.
The burning of Municipal Solid Waste in open results in thick toxic smog which is the main reason for the discoloration of Taj Mahal. These wastes should be properly deposited in landfalls which does not happen and the reason is bureaucratic incompetence.
The Supreme Court of India has ordered that all the wood burning crematoriums to be replaced by electric one. The UP Govt has banned the burning of cow dung which serves as cheap source of fuel but at the same time it produces brown carbon the same type which is turning the Taj Mahal into yellowish-brown color.
It is also a responsibility of every citizen of Agra, Delhi and its neighbouring states to see that activities which leds to producing of toxic smog should be stopped.
We need a bold and effective solution ASAP if we want our future generation to see the beautiful Taj Mahal in its former glory.
