We all are aware of environmental pollution.

Our planet earth differs from

other planets in having an environment. The biosphere in which living
beings have their sustenance has oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, argon
and water vapour. All these are well balanced to ensure a healthy life in the
world. The introduction of contaminants into an environment is called
environmental pollution. Due to environmental pollution instability,
disorder, harm or discomfort to the physical systems or living organisms are
caused.

Let us see the types of environmental pollution. The noise, heat, light, water
and chemical substances are getting polluted day by day. Due to
environmental pollution, the air, water and land are affected. Due to
environmental pollution, the drastic changes such as depletion of the ozone
layer, global warming and climate changes are taking place all over the
world. The release of chemicals and particles from industries and factories
cause air pollution. The surface runoff, liquid spills, waste water discharge
and leakage into ground water are the main reasons for water pollution. The
toxins spilled on the ground causes soil pollution.

The reasons for environmental pollution can be seen one by one. Due to
urbanization, forests are destructed. There is more demand for water. Every
single day, a lot of domestic waste is dumped. If these wastes are not
disposed of properly, that will end in environmental pollution. The dark
cloud of smoke and the swirling gases cause constant hazards, polluting and
contaminating both air and water. Necessary safeguard arrangements
should be made against environmental pollution.

Many crusaders are vehemently protesting against environmental pollution.

Nothing in the world is immune and no life is safe. We can very well notice
the abnormal behavior of our seasons. But, it is heartening to find that
entire world is aware of the menace and all the countries are ready to fight
against environmental pollution. The pesticides and herbicides used by
farmers also pollute the land. The industrial activities are contributing for
environmental pollution very much. Heaps of mining wastes also
contaminate the soil.

The environmental pollution is not caused by the fall out from nuclear tests
or industries alone. The smoke left by automobiles and other vehicular
traffic, the use of synthetic detergents, nitrogen fertilizers cause
environmental pollution. If we fail to restore the ecological balance right
now, it would be too late tomorrow. So, everybody should organise their
activities in such a way to drive away the environmental pollution from
earth.
