Assalamualaikum to all. Hope everyone is safe and well. Congratulations to everyone on week five of the Steam Engagement Challenge. Today I will be participating in the incredible Indian community to highlight various issues related to the environment including three reasons behind environmental pollution as per today's competition. Let's get started then...

mine.PNG What are the three significant reasons behind environmental pollution?mine.PNG

Causes of environmental pollution: When various harmful substances are added to the basic elements of the environment - air, water, and soil, it is called environmental pollution. We need pollution-free air to survive. Because people and their environment are greatly damaged due to air pollution. Some of the causes of air pollution from natural and human beings are created sources are:-

First of all Air Pollution:
Man-made causes; As a result of human activities, the air is constantly mixed with undesired substances damaging the air. Industrial factories are one of them. Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, metal particles, and smoke emitted from industrial plants pollute the air in large quantities in nature, also the combustion of fossil fuels in vehicles emits various harmful gases. About 70% of air pollution is carbon monoxide emitted from the exhaust of these vehicles. Deforestation causes air pollution. Garbage aging results in harmful fumes, ash, and organic phosphates resulting in air pollution. Also, CFCs emitted from air conditioners add weight to the air and destroy ozone. In addition, air pollution is caused by coal fumes used in thermal power plants, and radioactive materials released from nuclear power plant reactors pollute the air.

Air is polluted in different ways by natural means. For example: due to lightning, lava flow, tree-to-tree friction, etc., fires occur in forest areas and cause air pollution. During the eruption - a large amount of sulfur from the volcano mixes into the air and pollutes the air. Also due to the decomposition of dead organisms' many types of foul-smelling gases mix with the air and pollute the air.

Secondly water pollution:
Water is an invaluable resource for sustaining the life of the living world. Oceans, rivers, lakes, etc. are one of the sources of water. Water is very important to people for various needs. But water is getting polluted due to various reasons. One of the causes of water pollution is - sewage garbage: the urine, waste materials, and sewage of people and other animals living in cities and municipal areas, fall into the river. Again, waste material from the house or laundry falls into the river. As a result- the aquatic animals and plants in the water die and the water is polluted by the generation of toxic gases.
  • Industrial waste: The waste and toxic substances released from industrial plants seriously pollute the water of rivers or seas. Also, emissions from coke and plastic factories cause harm to living organisms and arsenic from industrial plants contaminates water.

  • Direct pollution by humans - Most people pollute the water by bathing and washing their clothes in rivers, ponds, and water bodies.

  • Solid Garbage: Products like Polyethylene Rubber Plastic etc. are not easily destroyed. Bacteria and other microorganisms cannot act on them, so these substances accumulate in the water and pollute the water.

  • Pesticides and herbicides: When various harmful pesticides are spread on plants, they mix with groundwater and pollute the water.

  • Radioactive material: At present, radioactive materials released from car fuel nuclear reactors and other nuclear explosions fall into rivers and seas during rains, causing water pollution.

  • Mineral oil: Accidental release of crude oil from oil tankers at sea creates a coating on the water. Oil spills from engine boats, steamers, and dollar launches into rivers and seas, causing damage to aquatic life and water pollution.

Thirdly soil p0llution:
Soil is a valuable natural resource. because it is the layer of the earth where plants grow and are nourished. Contaminants such as plastic chemical fertilizers, pesticides, daily garbage, bacteria, protozoa, etc. There are mixed with the soil and pollute the soil by eroding the surface layer of the soil. The main causes of soil pollution are - solid and liquid wastes of humans and animals, and gaseous substances released into the air from industrial plants for chemical activities. Also, household waste, industrial waste, and hospital and laboratory dear waste are thrown into the ground. Various pesticides, herbicides, acid-containing substances applied to soil and plants, improper agricultural practices, unplanned irrigation, erosion, emissions from power plants, and emissions from power plants pollute the soil extensively.
mine.PNGHow can we prevent environmental pollution? mine.PNG

Yes! We can easily control environmental pollution by taking proper preventive measures. There are several steps to be taken to prevent environmental - pollution. For example, sources like solar and hydroelectricity should be used as alternative fuels to prevent air pollution. Deforestation and cutting of trees should be stopped before a certain time. It is possible to prevent environmental pollution i.e. soil pollution by burying agricultural and household waste and excreta and carcasses of domesticated animals and dead bodies in specific places. Excessive use of chemical fertilizers, and pesticides on agricultural land should be reduced. Also, it is possible to control environmental pollution by curbing population growth.

mine.PNG Share your views on how environmental pollution affects all living creatures including humans mine.PNG

Environmental pollution adversely affects all living beings including humans. For example, due to the constant use of plastic, people suffer from various diseases including thyroid, kidney disease, and skin diseases. Burning of fossil fuels, black smoke from vehicles, etc. Air pollution increases the incidence of diseases like lung cancer- asthma- bronchitis, etc. Horns of various vehicles, rallies, concerts, etc. are responsible for noise pollution, and noise pollution can lead to serious heart attacks along with hearing loss. Also, due to environmental pollution, all living creatures including humans lack healthy living space, lack of adequate food and are likely to be affected by various air-borne and water-borne diseases.

mine.PNG Have you ever taken part in keeping your environment clean? mine.PNG

Yes! I have participated many times in keeping the environment clean.I live in the village. The effect of environmental pollution in villages is a little more than that of normal cities. Therefore, to prevent rural life from environmental pollution, we villagers implement environmental pollution prevention programs from time to time. The purpose of these programs is to make people aware and careful about environmental protection by imparting correct knowledge to the public to protect the environment cleanly. We take some steps to keep the environment clean. For example, we have created pits along with the placement of dustbins along the road to ensure that the garbage is kept in a specific place so that people do not throw garbage in that specific place. We are also adopting various precautionary measures to reduce air pollution.

I think environmental pollution is having harmful effects on animals. As a result, the life of animals is greatly disrupted, so everyone should play an effective role in preventing air pollution to live healthily. Polluted air is very harmful to animals. So in my opinion - be alert and alert others to prevent environmental pollution for healthy and beautiful living and balance of creation!

It seems that we have to clean up on our planet, like we do at home. It seems that people are like little kids after playing left everything laying with hope that someone will clean after them.

I think much depends on our government and regulations, that also will make people to follow them but also that the school have significant role as our new generation is growing and have to learn from young ages.

I agree in villages people care more and feel responsible, it is great that you are taking part in such Initiative to keep environment clean.

Sir,

  • your words are very important. Along with the government, people at all levels of the country should work to protect the environment. Your presence in my post has greatly encouraged me.

Thanks to you.

You've provided a comprehensive overview of various human activities that contribute to air pollution.

Thank you friend.

Absolutely! You've highlighted some crucial steps to control environmental pollution through preventive measures. Transitioning to renewable energy sources like solar and hydroelectricity can significantly reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Stopping deforestation and preserving forests is essential for maintaining the ecological balance and mitigating pollution.

Thank you friend for the nice command.
