There are many kinds of POLLUTION starting from Air to Land and water and many types of pollution. Pollution is something that is certainly not good for our environment and if we didn't take hard steps to stop it it's consequences would be dangerous in the future. It is a fact that in this industrial age we can't eradicate the pollution but we can minimize it by taking the best measures in this regard.
Types of Pollution:
- Air Pollution: It is the type of pollution that is a result of harmful gasses that are being released by Industries and other sites. These gasses go on to mix with the air and pollute it the air than breath by Human's which causes health issues and significant damage to our environment. There are various locations, activities or factors which are responsible for releasing pollutants into the atmosphere. From which some are man-made while some are natural.
Man-Made:
- Smoke coming from chimneys of industries which includes harmful gasses for the environment.
- The automobile industry is also the source of air pollution motor vehicles, marine vessels, and aircrafts all release toxic gasses like Lead Oxide and Carbon Monoxide which are known as silent killers.
- Fumes from paint, hair spray, varnish, aerosol sprays and other solvents.
- Army resources, such as nuclear weapons, toxic gasses, germ warfare, and rocketry. If you just look at this industry that how vastly or rapidly this industry is growing and every country wants to leave the other behind in making nuclear weapons.
Natural:
- Dust is a primary source of air pollution which comes from natural sources, usually large areas of land with little vegetation or no vegetation
- Gasses are also causing environmental pollution Methane, emitted by the digestion of food by animals, for example, cattle.
- Radon gas within Earth's crusts. Radon is a colorless, naturally occurring, radioactive gas that is formed from the decay of radium element. It is considered a health hazard and extremely harmful for humans as well as the environment. Radon gas from natural sources can accumulate in buildings, especially in confined areas such as the basement and it is also known as the second most frequent cause of lung cancer, after cigarette smoking.
- Smoke which comes from burning of forests by natural methods also releases harmful gasses and the burning of forests is so frequent these days which is also a result of rising in earth's temperature which is causing the forests around the globe to burn at large.
- Excessive Volcanic eruption in the world also causing air pollution. Volcanoes are a mixture of gasses that are cooked at high temperatures in Earth's crust.
