Environmental pollution

Essay on Environmental Pollution– Environment is the


surroundings in which we live. But the contamination of our
environment by pollutants is environmental pollution. The current
stage of the earth that we are seeing is the cause of centuries of
exploitation of earth and its resources.

Moreover, the earth cannot restore its balance because of


environmental pollution. The human force has created and
destroyed life on earth. Humans play a vital role in the degradation
of the environment.

Effect of pollution on the health


Environmental pollution, directly and indirectly, affects the lives of
humans and other species. These living beings co-existed on the
earth with humans for centuries.

Effect on Air
Carbon and dust particles string up with the air in the form of smog,
damaging the respiratory system, haze, and smoke. These are
caused by the emission of industrial and manufacturing units by
burning of fossil fuels, vehicle combustion of carbon fumes.

Moreover, these factors affect the immune system of birds which


become a carrier of viruses and infections.

Besides, it also affects the body system and body organs.

Effects on Land, Soil, and Food


Human’s organic and chemical waste harms the land and soil with
its decomposition. Also, it introduces some chemicals in the soil
and water. Land and soil pollution mainly caused by the use of
pesticides, fertilizers, soil erosion, and crop residues.

Effect on Water
Water gets contaminated easily with any pollutant whether it is
human waste or chemical discharge from factories. Also, we use
this water for irrigation of crops and drinking. But, because of
infection they become contaminated too. Besides, an animal dies
because they drink this same contaminated water.

Moreover, around 80% of pollutants of land such as chemical,


industrial and agricultural waste end up in the water bodies.

Besides, these water bodies ultimately connect to the sea which


means it indirectly pollutes the biodiversity of the sea.

Effect on Food
Because of contaminated soil and water, the crop or agricultural
produce also get toxic. Furthermore, this contaminated food affects
our health and organs. From the beginning of their life, these crops
are laced with chemical components that reach a mass level until
the time of harvest.

Effect on Climate
Climate change is also a cause of environmental pollution. Also, it
affects the physical and biological components of the ecosystem.

Moreover, ozone depletion, greenhouse gasses, global warming all


these climate changes are a cause of environmental pollution.

Besides, their effect can be fatal for our upcoming generations. The
irregular extreme cold and hot climate affect the ecological system
of the earth.
