“It isn’t pollution that’s harming the environment, it’s the
impurities in our air and water that are doing it”- Dan
Quale
Out of five sources from the God’s
creatures, Air is the main factor for the survival of living beings.We
the human beings have the target to comfy lifestyle by exploiting the
natural resources and even polluting by our informal actions. Air
pollution is mainly caused by the emission of carbon monoxide,
carbon-di-oxide, sulfur-di-oxide, nitrogen oxide into air. The usual
and the primary sources for the air pollution are emission of smoke
from the vehicles, improper disposal of wastes, burning of wastes etc.
Air pollution affects our survival and causes drastic effect in our
natural resources. It causes global warming. Thereby it leads to melting
of ice glaciers and the sea water level increases in return push us
into a critical condition at the point of submerging of lands in water.
It also leads to various other pollutions like water pollution which
adversely kills aquatic life.
Here are some facts discussed
about the cause of pollution created by human beings in the name of
industrialization and modernization in our living style that creates
great impact of pollution. Firstly, Thermal power station which produce
the electrical energy by consuming the natural source of coal and
burning of fossil fuels making high level of air pollution. It gets
polluted by the dust that spreads over the air which causes various
health issues like respiratory problems, eye irritation, skin allergy
and so on to people living nearby. To make matters worse, the basic
production of agriculture also been polluted by using more chemicals
like ammonia which emit the hazardous gases into the air. It leads to
poisoning of food products we consume. Now-a-days, going organic is the
most advisable option for human beings. The next major cause of air
pollution we see is from the manufacturing industries and the factories
that releases large amount of carbon oxides into air, obviously
deteriorating the quality of air. Mining the minerals below the earth
are extracted using large equipments also affects people and the
environment.
Modernization enthralled people to
live with luxury and tech-savvy lifestyle by using products which act
as the polluting agent. It is harmful to every living species on this
earth. Air pollution has led to the depletion of ozone layer which acts
as the shield of the earth and its contents.
To combat air pollution,
following are the few remedies to take into account like using of
public transport, bursting crackers without festivals, reduce the usage
of electronic items like Fridge, AC etc, relocating the industries far
from people residences, strict laws imposed to create awareness about
air pollution and so on. Implementing the remedies in a proper way will
have great improvements in the global conservation. God blessed us with
this life, let’s not harm ourselves and ensure to live in a healthy
environment.
