Pollution a threat to life 300 words
Answers
Explanation:
The mankind has posed a great threat to its own survival. Reads like a paradox but it is unfortunately true. Why so? – because man cannot keep his surroundings i.e. environment neat and clean. Daily tonnes of smoke is released into the atmosphere by factories, vehicles and power plants etc. This smoke contains toxic gases which cause bronchitis, asthma and other respiratory diseases. The burning of fossil fuels is the potent danger to human health. Many metropolitian cities are becoming unfit places for dwelling purposes. Their roads have virtually turned into gas chambers and became a real threat to the survival of life. Vehicle exhausts make breathing uncomfortable, and eyes begin to water due to irritants from the poisonous fumes.
People can be seen wearing mask-type inhalers and escape the discomfort. Even the noise of loudspeakers and vehicles vitiate our survival. Sometimes the sound level crosses the maximum decible level tolerable which can in turn cause deafness.
The flowing river water is too polluted to be used because all the garbage, filth and rubbish are thrown into it. There is yet another form of pollution which equally poses a threat to human existence and that is ‘land pollution’ which we very often forget to consider while discussing ‘pollution’ as a larger entity.
Thus, there are four major kinds of pollution, i.e. air pollution, water pollution, noise pollution and land pollution. It is alarming how we today have to withstand these four types of pollutions. We – human beings – are to be accounted for pollution and thanks to our sophisticated lifestyles we are in some way or other party to causing pollution. Not only do we increase pollution but also are ignorant enough to retain remedial elements like forests, mountains, and open landscapes, which help to reduce the pollution and its adverse effects.
