One of the biggest problems that the world is facing today is environmental pollution, increasing each year and causing great damage to the earth. Environmental pollution consists of five basic types of pollution, namely, air, water, soil, noise and light. Air pollution is by far the most harmful form of pollution in our
environment. Air pollution is cause by the injurious smoke emitted by
cars, buses, trucks, trains, and factories, namely sulphur dioxide,
carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides. Even smoke from burning leaves and
cigarettes are harmful to the environment causing a lot of damage to
man and the atmosphere. Water pollution caused by industrial
waste products released into lakes, rivers, and other water bodies,
this has made marine life no longer hospitable. Humans pollute water with
large scale disposal of garbage, flowers, ashes and other household
waste. Noise pollution, soil pollution and light pollution too are damaging
the environment at an alarming rate. Noise pollution include aircraft
noise, noise of cars, buses, and trucks, vehicle horns, loudspeakers,
and industry noise, as well as high-intensity sonar effects which are
extremely harmful for the environment and for those who listen to mp3 players, i pods etc with sound level over 80 decibels are gonna be deaf or near deaf long term. With all this said and all the proof presented, people still continue to destroy our environment and this will only get worst until we no longer have a environment. Its SAD!!!!!!!
