Environmental pollution is one of the biggest problems the world faces today.

It
is an issue that troubles us economically, physically and everyday of our lives.
The contamination of the environment is also being linked to some of the
diseases that are around currently. Yet, most people do not know about this
problem. This shows that environmental pollution is becoming an increasingly
worse problem that needs to be taken care of as soon as possible, not only for
the good of the environment but also for the people that live in it. Many factors
are present for why environmental pollution has become such a large issue in
the world. However, if the people of the world were to address the issue it would
definitely help both the environment and it's people. There are many activities
that can be done by both the common citizen to the governments of the world,
which could severally improve the world's environmental problem. On the other
hand, if the current way the world's environmental problem is being handled
continues, catastrophic consequences can follow for the future population.

Environmental pollution is the biggest menace to the human race on this planet today. It means
adding impurity to environment. The environment consists of earth, water, air, plants and
animals. If we pollute them, then the existence of man and nature will be hampered.
It is true that trees are being cut down rapidly. Our earth is becoming warmer. If pollution
continues, the day is not far when our earth will be a boiling pan and become a desert. Or it will
be covered with sea water causing destruction of mankind.
Pure air is always needed for inhaling. If we take pure air, our health improves. On the other
hand impure air causes diseases and impairs our health and causes our death. Smoke pollutes the
air. It is the root of air pollution. The smoke which is discharged from industries, automobiles
and kitchens is the mixture of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, methane etc. These are all
poisonous gases. These cause lung-cancer, tuberculosis etc. which take a heavy toll of life. The
glaring incident is the Bhopal gas leak in December 1984. Thousands of the residents of Bhopal
died due to lungs problem which was caused by methylamine gas from the Union Carbide Plant.
The garbage emitting foul smell, the decaying plants and animals also cause air pollution. Hence
the doctors advise the patients having lungs trouble to settle in some rural places because the air
of villages is pure and free from population.
Then comes sound pollution. The harsh sounds of buses, its, mopeds etc. affect our power of
hearing and causes fart trouble. It has been reported that there are two villages named Biraspalli
and Devadas Palli near Dum Dum airport m Calcutta where a large number of people have lost
their power of hearing. This is because of the frequent sounds of planes coming in and going out
of Dum Dum Airport. The evils of sound pollution can be imagined from this example.
The water of rivers and seas is being constantly polluted all over the world by various dangerous
chemical and biological wastes. Mills and factories discharge very harmful waste waters into
many rivers and sea. The water of the Ganges flowing by the side of both Varanashi and Calcutta
is extremely polluted and contains all sorts of dangerous bacteria. It is really very strange and
laughable that large number of the Indians regard this water as holy. They even drink this water
for salvation. There is no doubt that the fish that grow in such waters are poisonous too.

Reckless application of chemical fertilizers, insecticides and pesticides pollutes the soil.
Vegetables and fruits are quite injurious today, because they contain the poison of insecticides
and pesticides.
If the air we breathe, the water we drink and the soil which produces our crops, vegetables and
fruits, all become more and more impure, then our chances of good health and longevity will be
very less and less. Environment pollution is a serious menace to our existence. Realising the
danger, we must plant trees in large number to absorb impure air. Impure water from industries
can be sent back for purification and then it can be used for irrigation purpose. Our government
is well aware of the fact and is taking steps to save environment from pollution. We have also I
minister to look after the environment.

Pollution Essay 1 (100 words)

Pollution is the contamination of the natural environment which exists around us and
helps in normal living. Any type of pollution in our natural surroundings and ecosystem
causes insecurity, health disorders and discomfort in normal living. It disorganises the
natural systems and thus disturbs the natures balance.
The pollutants or elements of pollution are foreign substances or waste materials
created by the human beings and pollute the natural resources like air, water or soil etc.
The chemical nature, concentration and long persistence of the pollutants continually
disturbs the ecosystem for years. The pollutants can be poisonous gases, pesticides,
herbicides, fungicides, noise, organic compounds and radioactive materials.

Pollution Essay 2 (100 words)

As we all know that our environment is very necessary for our healthy existence on the
earth. A healthy environment depends on the good habits of human beings and the
circumstances we create. Human, animal, plants, earth and environment are indirectly
connected to each other and necessary for the existence of healthy life here. However,
by any means if our environment gets affected negatively, creates lots of problems and

many challenges in living a simple and healthy life. Our environment acts as a natural
world for us and provides a protection to us from the natural calamities. However, it
becomes helpless in protecting us if we disturbs its natural cycle and force it to harm us.

Pollution Essay 3 (150 words)

Pollution is the mixing of some harmful or poisonous materials into the natural resources
available on the earth. It affects the ordinary living of the living things on this planet by
disturbing the natural life cycle. Pollution can be of many types like noise pollution, air
pollution, soil pollution, water pollution, etc. Air pollution is increasing day by day
because of the growing number of automobiles, release of poisonous gases, smoke from
industrial companies, finely dissolved solids, liquid aerosols, etc in the atmosphere. The
air we breathe every moment causes several lungs disorders.
In this way soil and water pollution is also cause by the mixing up of the sewage water
(having germs, viruses, harmful chemicals, etc) in drinking water, some dangerous
agrochemicals such as pesticides, fungicides, herbicides, organic compounds like ether,
benzene, some radioactive materials including radium and thorium, solid wastes
(industrial ashes, rubbish, garbage), etc. We need to follow all the control measures
implemented by the government to check its harmful effects.

Pollution Essay 4 (150 words)

Environmental pollution is the condition when the natural cycle of our environment gets
disturbed and harms us. Some harmful environmental contaminants created by us in
the form of smoke, solid or liquid wastes get intermingled into the environment and
pollute it. It is only human who can check the environmental pollution by limiting their
bad activities. Each and every person here is responsible for the environmental pollution
in indirect way. Unknowingly we all are creating problems and challenges to the
environment.
Some bad chemical compositions which we use on daily basis get intermingled into the
environment and disturb its natural functioning and natural processes which directly
affect our health. Human beings are considered as the most intelligent living being on

the earth however it never means that they should interfere with the natures law of
ecological balance. Our environment and we, both are incomplete without the helps of
each other. We should try our best to maintain the healthy environment in order to
continue the natural processes easily.

Pollution Essay 5 (200 words)

Pollution has become a major environmental issue as it has created lots of health
hazards to the people and animals of any age group. In the recent years the rate of
pollution is increasing very sharply because of the industrialized waste material mixing
out directly into the soil, air and water. However, in our country full attention is not
getting paid to control it. It needs to be tackle seriously otherwise our future
generations would suffer a lot.
Pollution is classified into many categories according to the natural resources getting
affected such as air pollution, soil pollution, water pollution, noise pollution, etc. Rate of
pollution is increasing due to the selfishness of the human being to earn more money
and to fulfil some unnecessary wishes. In the modern era where technological
advancement is given more priority by the people, everyone has forgotten the real
discipline of life.
Continuous and unnecessary cutting down of the forests, urbanization and large
production through industrialization has involved as a huge causes of the pollution.
Harmful and poisonous wastes created from such activities causes irreversible changes
to the soil, air and water which ultimately push lives towards pain. This big social issue
needs a public level social awareness programme to destroy by its root to get complete
relief.

Pollution Essay 6 (200 words)

Environmental pollution is the biggest problem in the modern time we are facing. It
affects us in all aspects such as socially, economically, physically, mentally and
intellectually. Contamination of the natural environment gives birth to the lots of
diseases which make human beings weak mentally and physically. Many of us are not

well aware of the pollution even they do not know how they are creating problems to
the environment and polluting it. This problem is becoming worse day by day because
of the new technologies growth and development. Many new companies are opening in
the industry and do more to grow their business in the competitive field.
Environmental pollution is not the problem only one country however it is the issue of
whole world, so it needs effort by all of us together to correct it. If it is not taken under
control, it may affect the whole universe to a great extent in the future. Environmental
pollution is getting big by increasing level of pollution of water, air, sound and land.
Increasing in the number of vehicles on the roads causes air pollution, increasing in the
number of factories causes water pollution and land pollution. So, it needs limitation
over all the causes of the environmental pollution.

Pollution Essay 7 (250 words)

The meaning of word pollution means to make things dirty. Accordingly the pollution of
natural resources causes imbalance in the ecosystem. Currently we have been fatally
surrounded by the major issue of environmental pollution. Pollution is the addition of
any foreign or poisonous substances into the environment at very fast rate than the
environment natural accommodation. The main causes of this social devil are the
industrialization, deforestation and urbanization, the by-products of which causes
contamination to the natural resources used by the living things on the earth as a
routine of normal life.
Air pollution, water pollution and soil pollution are the most dangerous forms of pollution
causing direct heath disorders to the human beings. We have no safe water to drink,
pure air to inhale and pollution free land to crop. This widely spreading pollution need to
be taken under control for the healthy survival of life on the planet in future. Different
types of pollutants which are disturbing our natural ecosystem are gases (NO, SO2,
CO2, CO, NO2), halogens (iodine, chlorine, bromine), deposited matters (dust, smog,
grit), agrochemicals (insecticide, pesticides, herbicides), noise, photochemical oxidants
(photochemical smog, peroxyacetyl nitrate, ozone, nitrogen oxides), organic compounds
from industries (acetic acid, benzene, ether), radioactive materials (radium, thorium),
some solid wastes (ash, garbage), etc.

Pollution is the big side effect of the industrialized societies of the modern world where
industrial development and green house effect have adversely affected the ecosystem.
Life supporting systems are speedily getting converted into the life destroying system
because of the industrialization. Human greediness and misuse of freeness of doing
anything lead them towards serious degradation and mismanagement of resources.

Pollution Essay 8 (250 words)

Earth is considered as the only planet suitable for the life existence in the whole
universe. It gives us everything like air, water, land, plants, and sky for the healthy
survival of the life. We cannot live here in the absence of all the basic components of
life. In any case if the serious pollution problems occur, it causes hazardous to the life.
Increasing number of vehicles on the roads and increasing demands of the usage of the
petrol and diesel increases the risk of air pollution as petrol and diesel spread heavy
amount of poisonous gases in the environment such as carbon monoxide, sulphurdioxide, hydrocarbons, and many more gases are polluting the air. Now-a-days, a major
threat to the life is due to the development of nuclear sciences.
The polluted air we breathe goes to our whole body and affect all the systems especially
respiratory functions. It becomes the reason of origin of many diseases like cancer,
respiratory problems, lungs disorders, bronchitis, asthma and many more. The
increasing competitions of the nuclear experiments all over the world are creating the
big threat of atmospheric balance destruction as this process releases lots of harmful
chemicals, poisonous gases, and dust into the air which falls back again to the earth
through acid rains and harms the growth of crops and life. This acid rain causes various
harmful diseases to the human fraternity worldwide. Water pollution is increasing
because of the direct drainage of industrial liquid wastes into the water of ocean, lakes,
rivers, ponds and other water bodies. This water is used by the farmers in growing crops
which we eat and disturb our physiological functioning.

Pollution Essay 9 (300 words)

Pollution has become the most serious issue as everyone is facing lots of health hazards
in their daily life. Various types of pollutants from the industrial garbage and other

activities are contaminating our natural resources like air, water, soil, etc. After being
mixing into the soil, air and water, they are directly affecting the human being and
animal body system and causing variety of lethal ailments to health. Noise pollution is
affecting the listening system in the body as well as causing disturbance to the memory.
The rate of pollution in the cities is higher than the villages because of the vehicles
transportation. Fumes arise from the running vehicles, factories and other industries are
affecting the clean air of cities which is not fit for the breathing. Soiled water from the
big sewage system, other garbage from the households, by-products from the factories
and industries are directly mixing to the rivers, lake and oceans. Most of the solid
wastes, garbage and other unused things are thrown away by the people on the land
which cause soil pollution and affect the crop production. Most of the people in the cities
spread noise pollution to a great extent during their birthday, marriage or other
occasions just for their short time happiness. All the roads in the cities become full of
traffic all through the day because of the increasing number of vehicles which are the
reason of both air pollution and noise pollution.
Ultimately all the man made technological advancement is the big reason of all types of
pollution on the earth. So, no one other than human, who is digging a pit of pollution
worldwide and creating a serious problem for the living things on the earth. The quality
of life is worsening day by day as pollution acts as a devil which causes various health
ailments like high blood pressure, kidney disorders, respiratory disease, cancer,
epidemics, skin diseases, etc.

Pollution Essay 10 (300 words)

Environmental pollution is the big issue now for the whole human fraternity on this
planet today. We are continuously adding impurities to the environment unknowingly
through our bad and careless activities. Environmental pollution affects the natural
processes and living of human being. When we play with the natural cycles of the
environment which consists of air, earth, water, land, plants and animals, it creates big
challenges to us and makes healthy life almost impossible. It hampers the existence of
both human and nature together as both are the completeness to each other.

The biggest issue to the environmental problem is the removal of forests and
urbanization on that place because of the increasing pollution. Decreasing number of
the plants day by day increasing the amount of carbon dioxide gas in the environment
as plants are the main sources of the carbon dioxide gas utilization. Thus the increasing
level of this gas in the environment causes global warming (increased climate
temperature due to emissions of greenhouse gases) which in turn causes lots of
problems and brings environmental and social changes in direct and indirect ways. The
warming effect on the climate causes glaciers to melt, seasonal problems, decreasing
agricultural productivity and many more.
Continuous warming of the earth may cause earth a day as a boiling pan and desert
whole earth would be covered with ocean water means permanent destruction to the
mankind. For our good health we need fresh and pure air to inhale, unpolluted food to
eat, no noise pollution and unpolluted water to drink however all are not possible now.
Thats why everyone of us are wasting more money into the medicines by making round
and round of the hospitals instead of spending money to good health activities like
eating fruits, joining health club, etc. So, the environmental issue need to be solved on
urgent basis by the effort of all of us.

Pollution Essay 11 (400 words)

In the modern world of technological advancement, pollution has become a serious
environmental issue affecting the lives on earth. Some of the most important types of
the pollution are air pollution, water pollution, soil pollution and noise pollution. All types
of the pollutions are undoubtedly affecting the whole environment and ecosystem thus
the quality of life. Our naturally beautiful environment on the earth is deteriorating day
by day just by the foolish habits of the human beings.
The main reasons of the air pollution are the heavy emissions of harmful and poisonous
gases arise from the increasing number of vehicles, factories and open burning. In the
crowd of betterment of life, everyone wants to have well resources for their easy daily
routine but they do not think a little bit about their natural surroundings. Most of the air
pollution is carried out by the public transportation on daily basis. Carbon dioxide and

carbon monoxide are the toxic gases polluting the air and reducing the oxygen level in
the environment.
Manufacturing factories are also the great contributor to the air pollution by meeting the
growing demand of people. During the manufacturing process factories releases some
toxic gases, heat and energy into the environment. Some other habits like open burning
of household garbage, etc are also worsening the air quality. Air pollution causes
respiratory disorders including lung cancer among human being and animals.
Water pollution is also a big issue directly affecting the marine life as they only depend
on the nutrients found in the water for their survival. Gradual disappearance of the
marine life would really affect the livelihood of human beings and animals. The reason
of the water contamination is harmful wastes from factories, industries, sewage
systems, farms, etc which are directly dumping into the main source of water like rivers,
lakes and oceans. Drinking contaminated water causes serious health disorders to us.
Soil pollution is caused by the use of fertilizers, fungicides, herbicides, insecticides and
other organic compounds. It indirectly affects our health as we eat eating materials
produced in the soil. The source of noise pollution is the noise created from the heavy
machinery, vehicles, radio, TV, speaker, etc which causes hearing problems and
sometimes deafness. We should take care of our environment to maintain the natural
ecosystem. It requires a joint effort from everyone to get control over the pollution so
that we can get a healthy and unpolluted environment.

Pollution Essay 12 (400 words)

Environment pollution is the mixing of harmful pollutants into the environment causing
disturbance to the natural processes and cycles. Various types of environmental
pollution are categorized as the water pollution, air pollution, land pollution and noise
pollution. Production of solid and liquid wastes on large scale from the industries,
emissions of hazardous gases, deforestation, global warming, and many more problems
originated by the human beings are the main reasons of increasing the environmental
pollution. In the last one decade, there is a great increase in the level of environmental
pollution and scenario has become worse than earlier.

In the whole universe, there is only one planet named earth provides facility of all basic
elements required for the life existence. It gives us life and what we give it, pollution.
However, it was much better that if we give it nothing but we give it pollution and
contamination regularly. As we all live on this planet, we all are highly responsible for
the maintenance of the earth. However, we all forget our responsibility and busy in our
daily routine and competitions to just fulfil our needs in anyways. Fresh air and clean
water are two most basic needs to sustain life but nothing of both is possible in the
modern time. It seems that, after some decades here would be no man, no plants, no
animals and no life.
All the natural gases in the environment make their balance by reacting each other.
Some of them are used as a food by the plants like carbon dioxide. But, just imagine
what happened when we start finishing plants. Decreasing number of plants causes less
use of carbon dioxide which gets spread into the whole environment and in turn
increases environmental temperature level and thus global warming. It again calls many
problems and natural calamities like melting glaciers, flood, increasing water level in
sea and ocean, and finally destruction of humanity from this planet. Just imagine, only
decreasing number of plants may cause such a big problem which is not our only
mistake. We are doing lots of such mistakes daily and it should not be a big surprise for
us that one day the chance of life existence would be finished on this planet.
Still we have time, the get together effort of all of us may save the earth, environment
and the life here. Environmental pollution needs a global level awareness and every one
of us needs to understand our all mistakes, causes of pollution, ways to solve the
problems created by it and most importantly how to stop the negative environmental
changes and environmental pollution.
