Pollution means any contamination
of air, soil, water and environment. Why, even loud
noise and sound is also a part of pollution.
Air pollution – Harmful
gases and tiny particles (like carbon monoxide, nitrogen
dioxide and sulphur dioxide) when released into the
air pollute the air. The smoke released from burning
fuel, from factories and not to forget the motor cars
are the major sources of air pollution.
Air pollution is one of the major cause of that
funny cough, asthma and burning eyes that you develop.
Water pollution –
All that dirty water from our house drains through the
pipes into river, oceans dirtying the water. Can you
imagine all those chemicals from factories draining
into the river? And that is the water that you drink.
Think about all the diseases that you can get from drinking
such water.
Land pollution –
All that plastic and dirt that you throw on the ground
dirties the land and when you don’t maintain the hygiene,
then disease prevails.
Noise pollution –
You want to listen to head banging rock music and your
parents orbit into the space. But have you thought about
your dear little sensitive ears? How much can they take?
Not much and the effect is seen within a few
years when you can’t hear what people say. You land
up becoming deaf. Not to mention other problems like
high blood pressure and other diseases that you develop.
Prevention of pollution
is the best policy to prevent lot of diseases-
Here is your chance to take
care of this world. Start right from your home and make
a difference – cleaner and a healthier place to live
in.
