POLLUTION

Any abnormal change in chemical, physical and biological characteristics of the environment is called pollution. At present our civilization is getting polluted every moment. This is causing extensive damage to all sorts of life on the earth. Today the world is facing a serious noise pollution.

Environmental pollution is a direct consequence of the industrial progress. It is more pronounced in large industrial belts. In these areas, the air is getting polluted by the exhausts of automobiles, furnaces, industries etc. Noise pollution is mainly caused by the howling horns of automobiles, reckless use of loud-speakers and bursting of crackers. Over-population and industrialisation accelerate the rate of sound pollution. With the development of industries, large amounts of municipal and industrial waste are disposed off into rivers, lakes, bays and other water bodies, contaminating them with highly toxic chemicals results into the death of marine life. Polluted water is also dangerous to agricultural products. Even the sea is not free from pollution today. Most of the diseases and stresses are caused due to environmental pollution.

Seminars are being held regularly all over the world to apprise the people of the impending danger to the mankind. We must follow the guidelines to create a better environment and save life on this beautiful planet.
