Question

It’s true that progress in knowledge has led to the development of science and technology ,which has ,
in turn ,profoundly altered our environment .For example , fertilizers and insecticides have increased
agricultural output , which is required to feed the swelling population of the world . However , both give
rise to population .Each one in the modern world has accumulated in our bodies a few milligrams of
D.D.T., which is organo –chlorine , a type of insecticide .The D.D.T. level in fish is rising and already some fish eating birds are becoming sterile . Fertilizers used in farmlands are washed away by rain in to rivers ,
lakes and reservoirs . The heavy intake content in fertilizers leads to wild growth of vegetation in them,
which in turn de-oxygenizes the waters and , as a result , all the fish is lost .
Massive industrialization too has led to serious pollution of the environment . Millions of tons of
smoke, Sulphur gas, ash and unknown quantities of toxic by-product are sent up every day all over the
world and we simply do not know if our chemical environment is slowly poisoning us all . What is even
worse, the increase in the carbon dioxide content of the atmosphere from burning oil and coal may in time, prevent the escape of the sun’s heat from the earth .Leading to a rise in the earth’s temperature,
the melting of ice-caps , and rise in the level of the ocean .
The sea has become a cheap dumping ground for all kinds of waste products .Although the sea
has a great capacity to break down all kinds of waste , this capacity is not unlimited , especially in
shallow seas. Industrial effluent gets washed out to sea, for industries tend to concentrate in coastal
areas in order to be able to dispose of unwanted waste cheaply. Atomic wastes as well as poison gases
are dumped in the sea by industrial and military authorities.
It would be foolish to shut our eyes to the dangers of the pollution that human beings cause. It
is true that more and more people have become aware of the dangers of pollution. Rivers are being
gradually restored to health; international organizations are trying to keep the seas clean. Industries are
being asked to pay large sums to meet the cost of disposing of effluents. Campaigns are being organised
against cutting down trees. Public opinion is gradually being aroused to concern , and if all of us become
concerned about our environment , we shall be able to keep the earth habitable for future generations .
Write a short summary of the above extract with the help of the given clues and suggest a suitable
tittle.

Increasing environmental pollution ………………. pollution result of ………………. Contamination of the things
……………………. survival problem………………need to control……………including humans all in danger
…………………. Population growth.​
