Sir,
Through the esteemed column of your newspaper, I wish to create an awareness among the public about pollution hazards.
Today the world has become too materialistic. The Mammon worshipping has made us insensitive to the pollution problems we are creating for ourselves and our society. Pollution has become a threat to mankind.
We must understand that the world today is preoccupied with the problem of pollution control. In spite of a number of Acts, Legislations, Constitutional amendments and Pollution Central Board our country has failed to check this threat.
Let us look into the matter any try to make people understand their role. The factors responsible for Air pollution must be removed to make the environment clean.
Air pollution is a serious threat at present. Our atmosphere is composed of various gases. It is never pure because various types of other gases are added to it by nature or man-made sources or both. Man-made sources are smoke, and gases produced by burning of coal or oil. Increase in vehicular traffic also has made the situation worse. The increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is affecting the global temperature. The automobile exhaust and forest fire abounds in carbon monoxide. Its concentration affects the nervous system and cause s suffocation, giddiness, headache among human beings. It decreases nitrogen fixing ability in plants. Excess of Nitrogen, Sulphur dioxide etc. can affect the functioning of the brain and kidneys. Lung cancer, internal bleeding and blockage of respiratory system are among its serious effects. Water pollution is also playing havoc with human life.
