So, What Is Pollution?

So, you might be thinking, what is Pollution? Pollution is a very common term nowadays. It has become so common that almost everyone acknowledges the fact that pollution is rising continuously.

Simple Definition Of Pollution:

 The term ‘pollution’ means the manifestation of any unsolicited foreign substance in something.

Introduction:

Atmospheric Pollutants:

When we talk about pollution on earth, we refer to the contamination that is happening of the natural resources by various pollutants.

All this is mainly caused by human activities, which harm the environment in more than one. Therefore, an urgent need has arisen to tackle this issue straightaway. That is to say, pollution is damaging our earth severely, and we need to realize its effects and prevent this damage. In this blog on what is pollution, we will see the effects of pollution and how to reduce it.

The Effects Of Pollution?

Pollution affects the quality of life more than one can imagine. It works in mysterious ways, sometimes which cannot be seen by the naked eye. However, it is very much present in the environment.

For instance, you might not be able to see the natural gases present in the air, but they are still there. Similarly, the pollutants that are messing up the air and increasing the levels of carbon dioxide are very dangerous for humans.

An increased level of carbon dioxide will lead to global warming.

Further, the water is polluted in the name of industrial development, religious practices, and more will cause a shortage of drinking water.

Without water, human life is not possible. Moreover, the way waste is dumped on the land eventually ends up in the soil and turns toxic. If land pollution keeps happening at this rate,  we won’t have fertile soil to grow our crops on.

Therefore, serious measures must be taken to reduce pollution to the core.

Types Of Pollutions:

• Air Pollution
• Water Pollution
• Land Pollution

How To Reduce Pollution?

After learning the harmful effects of pollution, one must get on the task of preventing or reducing pollution as soon as possible. To reduce air pollution,  people should take public transport or carpool to reduce vehicular emissions. While it may be hard, avoiding firecrackers at festivals and celebrations can also cut down on air and noise pollution. Above all, we must adopt the habit of recycling. All the plastic used ends up in the oceans and land, which pollutes them. 

So, remember not to dispose of them after use, rather reuse them as long as you can. We must also encourage everyone to plant more trees, which will absorb the harmful gases and make the air cleaner. When talking on a higher level, the government must limit the usage of fertilizers to maintain the soil’s fertility. In addition, industries must be banned from dumping their waste into oceans and rivers, causing water pollution. 

Conclusion:

To sum it up, all types of pollution are hazardous and come with grave consequences. Everyone must take a step towards change, ranging from individuals to industries.

As tackling this problem calls for a joint effort, we must join hands now.

Moreover, the innocent lives of animals are being lost because of such human activities.

So, all of us must take a stand and become a voice for the unheard to make this earth pollution-free.
