Environment Pollution

Nature, land, air, water, plants and all other things around us in which we live are called environment. The word ‘pollution’ means to make dirty or impure which is harmful. Thus, environmental pollution means the pollution of our environment that happens every day. It happens mostly in cities and industrial towns. It is harmful to our health and livelihood. Any abnormal change in chemical, physical and biological characteristics in environment is called the environment pollution. At present, our environment is getting polluted every moment. In our cities, the air is constantly being polluted by smoke from factories and from carbon monoxide gases emitted by motor vehicles. Even the ground, we walk on in both urban and rural areas, is polluted by garbage. Water is also polluted. The seas are polluted by industrial waste, chemicals and other poisons. Oil tankers often clean out their tanks at sea and power stations release hot water into rivers which kill fish and plants Forest and tree are cut down on a large scale. We have noise from motor vehicles, mills and factories,domestic appliance, radio cassettes and CD player, television and so on. It is another form of pollution. The air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we take are not always absolutely pure for health. It causes premature death to millions of people. However, we should take measures to prevent environmental pollution. We should plant more trees and work for forestation. Government should take initiatives to save our environment. To prevent pollution, government as well as all the conscious people should come forward to develop civic sense to reduce all kinds of pollution.
