Environmental pollution refers to the introduction of harmful pollutants into the environment. These pollutants contaminates the environment. It has a hazardous effect on the natural world and on the activities of living beings.
The major types of environmental pollution are air pollution, water pollution, noise pollution, thermal pollution, soil pollution and light pollution.
Deforestation and hazardous gaseous emissions also leads to environmental pollution. During the last 10 years, the world has witnessed severe rise in environmental pollution.
We all live on planet earth, which is the only planet known to have an environment, where air and water are two basic things that sustain life. Without air and water the earth would be like the other planets – no man, no animals, no plants. The biosphere in which living beings have their sustenance has oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, argon and water vapor. All these are well-balanced to ensure and help a healthy growth of life in the animal world. This balance does not only help the life-cycles of animals and plants, but it also creates the perennial sources of minerals and energies without which the human civilization of to-day could not be built. It is for this balance that the human life and other forms of existence have flourished on earth for so many thousands of years.
Human-beings are the most intelligent creatures on earth and they never stopped being inquisitive. Nor were they content with the bounties of nature. The quest of human-beings for knowledge and search for security succeeded in exploring newer and wider avenues of mysteries that remained baffling so long. Human-being’s excursions into the darkest regions of mysteries laid foundations for the stupendous civilization. The conquests of human-beings had ensured their domination in their world and gave them a key to control all the forces in nature.
With the dawn of the age of science and technology, there has been huge growth and development of human potentials. The surge in pollution is often attributed to the wide scale urbanization and large-scale industrialization, which is in turn a product of our advancement in science and technology. And, it is here that man first began losing control and became victim of his own creations.
Sources and Causes
The sources and causes of environmental pollution includes the following:
1-Industrial activities
2-Dumping solid waste
3-Vehicles
4-Population overgrowth:
5-Agricultural waste
Effect
Environmental Pollution can have devastating effects on sea life, on crops and on human health. It affects all plant, human and animal life in a negative way. Almost all of our gains in the fields of industrial progress, science and technology had so far been realized at the cost of our health. Even our flora and fauna were found to be threatened with extinction.
Solution
What then is the remedy? A lot of pollution derives from human activity. As a result, it is we humans who will be able to stop pollution. But, there surely cannot be any radical solution, for the existing factories cannot be bodily lifted to a place far from the populated zone. However, the following attempts can be made to solve the problem of environmental pollution.
Deforestation should be stopped and Forestry should be developed. Forests help us combat pollution in many ways. The trees bind the soil and prevents soil pollution. They also help in preserving the biodiversity that is important for ecosystem balance. Trees takes in COs and releases oxygen and contributes in purifying he air.
Factory wastes should be disposed in environment friendly manner. Discharge of Factory wastes in rivers should be banned so as to make the river-water free from pollution.
Recycle the sewage or in all events it can be disposed of in such a way as to prevent it from polluting the environment.
Reducing the amount that we buy, reusing and repairing items wherever possible, and recycling as much as we can will all help to reduce the amount of waste dumped in the environment. When we do need to throw away waste we should do so responsibly.
Organic farming could be one solution for reducing environmental pollution levels.
Using fewer plastics would help in controlling plastic pollution.
Disposing of litter and chemicals responsibly.
Burning fewer fossil fuels.
Conclusion
We can very well notice the abnormal behaviour of the seasons – the cycle developing clogs in its wheels; and the worried experts fear that the disturbed balance in the biosphere has assumed such serious proportion that very soon our world would be uninhabitable like Hiroshima of 1945. But it is heartening to find the entire world aware of the menace. Some of the advanced countries have already taken some measures to meet it. If we fail to restore the ecological balance right now, it would be too late tomorrow.

Explanation:
Environmental Pollution means pollution which is degrading the environment. Pollution is increasing day by day and so global warming is also increasing. Due to environmental pollution, there is an imbalance in nature so many birds, animals, and plants are on the verge of extinction day by day. The harmful smoke emits from the factories are mixed with the air and increasing the pollution every time. The only way we can get rid of environmental pollution is to plant more and more trees. We all dream of a beautiful home, our nation too dreams of a beautiful environment.
Hope this will help you
