Naturalism: Environmental problems and possible solution

in #environment4 years ago

Environmental problems arise when there is a blockage in normal life process. This barrier is manifested by some elements of nature not being in their original state and becoming distorted. Prominent among these elements are water, air, soil etc. Environmental problems make it difficult for humans and other living organisms to live their normal life and many times the question of life and death arises.

Pollution is also an environmental problem which has become a worldwide problem today. Animals, birds, plants and humans are all vulnerable. Increased emissions from industries and motor vehicles and ruthless harvesting of trees are some of the main causes of pollution. Mineral fuels (diesel, petrol, coal etc.) are indiscriminately used in factories, power stations and motor vehicles. The atmospheric process called greenhouse effect, which increases the temperature of the earth and brings undesirable changes in the weather.

Other industrial activities emit a man-made gas called chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) that damages the ozone layer of the high atmosphere. This layer protects us from the sun's dangerous ultraviolet radiation. CFCs also contribute to the greenhouse effect. The emission of these gases is continuously increasing the temperature of the Earth's atmosphere. At the same time, the sea temperature has also started increasing. The temperature of the atmosphere has increased by 3 to 6 degrees Celsius in the last hundred years. Constantly rising temperatures will cause ice to melt at both poles

Apart from this, the weather can change - in some areas there will be drought, in some places there will be storm and there will be heavy rain elsewhere.

Another problem associated with industrialization and urbanization is water pollution. Often, chemical waste and polluted water of industries and urban waste is dumped in rivers. This has caused the rivers to become highly polluted. There are many rivers in the world whose water has now become impure.

Gases like ammonia and hydrogen sulfide are released from the decomposition of organic matter (mainly sewage) in the water and the dissolved oxygen in the water decreases, causing the fish to die. Many germs are also found in polluted water, which are a big threat to human and animal health. Drinking contaminated water can cause blood cancer, liver cancer, skin cancer, bone diseases, heart and kidney problems and many stomach diseases, which cause thousands of people to die every year in our country.

Another environmental problem is deforestation. 11 million hectares of forest are harvested every year in the world. One million hectares of forest is being harvested in India alone. Wildlife is disappearing due to the destruction of forests. Due to the continuous decrease in the area of ​​the forests, the erosion of the land and the spread of the desert have started to increase on a large scale.

Pesticides are used to take more of the crop and kill pests that harm the crop. These pesticides are now damaging the biological cycle of the land and human health due to the excessive use. Along with harmful pests, insects useful for crops like spider, earthworm, bee etc. also die from them. Even more worrisome is that pesticides are poisoned in fruits, vegetables and grains, and these pesticides prove extremely harmful to them when humans and animals eat these foods.

Today all these environmental problems are facing the world. Human nature is beginning to destroy behind the blind race of development. In the desire to get everything, he has started breaking the laws of nature. Nature supports you as long as it is taken from it according to its rules.

We should take from nature as much as our basic needs can be fulfilled. This is the only way to overcome environmental problems.
