Pollution A Threat To Life

The mankind has posed a great threat to its

own survival. Reads like a paradox but it is

unfortunately true. Why so? – because man

cannot keep his environment

neat and clean. Daily tonnes of smoke is

released into the atmosphere by factories,

vehicles and power plants etc. This smoke

contains toxic gases which cause bronchitis,

asthma and other respiratory diseases. The

burning of fossil fuels is the potent danger to

human health. Many metropolitian cities are

becoming unfit places for dwelling purposes.

Their roads have virtually turned into gas

chambers and became a real threat to the

survival of life. Vehicle exhausts make breathing

uncomfortable, and eyes begin to water due to

irritants from the poisonous fumes.

People can be seen wearing mask-type inhalers

and escape the discomfort. Even the noise of

loudspeakers and vehicles vitiate our survival.

Sometimes the sound level crosses the

maximum decible level tolerable which can in

turn cause deafness.

The flowing river water is too polluted to be

used because all the garbage, filth and rubbish

are thrown into it. There is yet another form of

pollution which equally poses a threat to human

existence and that is ‘land pollution’ which we

very often forget to consider while discussing

‘pollution’ as a larger entity.

Thus, there are four major kinds of pollution, i.e.

air pollution, water pollution, noise pollution and

land pollution. It is alarming how we today have

to withstand these four types of pollutions. We –

human beings – are to be accounted for

pollution and thanks to our sophisticated

lifestyles we are in some way or other party to

causing pollution. Not only do we increase

pollution but also are ignorant enough to retain

remedial elements like forests, mountains, and

open landscapes, which help to reduce the

pollution and its adverse effects.

Thus, it is very much in our hands to contain the

increasing pollution levels, it is high time we

realise that it is in the best interest of all of us

that we keep our environment clean and

promote afforestation to have control over the

monstrous threat of pollution. It is not the time to

play the blame game, rather everyone should

put in genuine efforts to cleanse the earth to

make it a better place to live not only for us but

for all future generations to come.
