Environmental Pollution || 3-5-22 || Science Topic by @bossj23

Greetings to everyone in this community. I'm highly elated by my participation in this contest. The last time i was given free expression on a contest like this was many years back. As @forhadmiya said, our environment is being polluted for one reasons or another constantly. Environmental pollution has brought damage to our ecosystem that's why it's a warring issue. Even the masses claim to be advantageous but more of disastrous. Before writing such a topic, the keywords Environment, Pollution, Environmental pollution, how environmental pollution is polluting the environment , types,causes and solutions to environmental pollution would be deliberated on so as to know and get a clear picture of the contest topic.

Environment:

refers to the surroundings, natural world, geographical area or region in which a person, animal or plant operate and live mostly affected by human activities.

Pollution:

is defined as the indiscriminate release of harmful or toxic substances into the environment which disrupts the normal flow of the ecosystem as to what people take in as air, what they drink and eat, their health condition in response to certain factors like health and water. Any undesirable and unwanted change in proportions of environmental components like air, water, land etc.is termed pollution..Now combining the two definitions together,

Environmental pollution

is the contamination or disrupt of the physical and biological components of the environment where there exists all forms of life to such an extent that normal environmental processes and how these biological life relate adversely affected. It is simply the release of harmful substances that disrupt the normal environmental processes and also the lives of those inhabiting it.

Causes of Environmental pollution

With the rise of industries close to residential places, migration of people from places in search of employment and the physical activities of man, there has been increased rate of unhygienic living conditions. This issue is increasing yearly ....
Environmental pollution is of 4 basic types. These are;

• Air pollution
• Soil
• Water and
• Noise

Air Pollution:

This is one of the major cause of pollution which place a major issue in the world today. The smoke from heavy machines, factory chimneys and automobiles create pollute the atmosphere with certain hazardous gases like Carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide, carbon dioxide etc. These emitted gases from these factors mix with air and causes great damage to the human body because the air we take in is being mixed with toxic or harmful substances. The dry leaves used as domestic fuel wood also causes air pollution.

Sources of Air Pollution

• Automobile pollution
• Industrial Pollution
• Indoor air pollution
• Radioactive elements

Water Pollution

Is a serious environmental issue as waste products or sewage water which are not treated properly are channelled into river bodies and stream where people drink, use for cooking and the rest. Agricultural processes with excess fertilizers pollute water bodies too. Oil spillage too affect biological life in river bodies as to how the breathe and probably they find it hard to survive.

Sources

• Offshore oil rigs
• Sewage being disposed in river Bodies and seas
• Recreational activities

Soil Pollution:

results from depositing waste biodegradable materials like plastics, broken bottles and the rest. These waste materials doesn't add anything to the soil, rather it attracts certain organisms and the rest. It is very harmful to human health and it causes diseases like cholera, dysentery and the rest...

Sources

• Chemical fertilizers
• Pesticides
• Industrial waste, etc.

Noise Pollution

this is pollution caused by horns of vehicles, heavy machines, industrial activities and the rest. This affects human hearing canal and causes disturbance in the brain....

How pollution harm health and environment

People's lives and other creatures is affected by environmental pollution directly or indirectly.

• Snog created by the combustion of fossil fuels in manufacturing and industrial facilities and vehicle combustion of carbon fumes impact or affects the immune system of birds making them carriers of viruses.

• Degradation of human organic and chemical waste harms the land and soil and releases chemical into the land.... Pesticides, fertilizer and crop residues pollute the land because it hampers the growth of certain things.

• Ozone depletion, global warming, greenhouse gases emission play a very big role in environmental pollution because they indirectly

How to reduce environmental pollution

• To prevent air pollution, better quality design equipment, smokeless fuel and incinerators should be used in homes and industries
• Proper maintenance of vehicles, using soundproofing equipment like generators and better design equipment can be used to control noise pollution.
• Stop the usage of plastics to control soil pollution.
• Government should plant more trees to minimize the use of plastics and improve natural waste discovery.

Conclusion:

If preventive measures aren't taken to reduce pollution, our future generations will have to face great repercussions that's why it's the responsibility of everyone to work hand in hard in saving our planet from this horrendous environmental contaminating agents.
