Pollution is anything that makes our environment dirty. When we talk about pollution on earth it refers to the contamination that is happening on the earth by various pollutants. There are many kinds of pollution like water, air, noise, sound, and soil pollution. The beauty of the earth is getting affected by this pollution. Pollution affects the quality of life more than one can imagine.
According to one study conducted in 2016, 140 million people in India breathe air that is 10 times or more over the WHO safe limit.
According to the latest Central Pollution Control Board, Chennai is the noisiest metropolitan city in the country and violates decibel levels throughout the year. Freshwater is only 2.7 percent out of the total water available in nature. The remaining 97.3 percent is saline water. And the condition of water bodies in India is very bad. Polluted water affects the human body and causes diseases like typhoid and cholera. Water pollution damages animals and plants’ life also. Air pollution is a big threat to human life. The quality of air in some cities like Delhi is terrible. Air pollution is a reason behind increasing greenhouse gases. It also causes diseases like lung cancer. Soil pollution causes land degradation and reduces the fertility of the land which affects the growth of crops.
We should look after our mother earth and try to reduce this pollution. We should dump garbage here and there. We should not release industrial waste into rivers and lakes. we must adopt the habit of recycling. So, we should raise our voices for our mother earth and try to make it pollution-free.
