subject: The Different Kinds Of Pollutions, And The Permanent Alterations Happening In The Earths Atmosphe [print this page] The Toxic waste and other discharge effluents from industries like harmful chemicals get mixed with fresh water resources like lakes, ponds and ground water and air pollution happens when the carbon monoxide from the billions of vehicles all over the world, discharge the toxic exhaust fumes from burning gas. Deforestation is the main kind of land pollution.
Man has bought about permanent damage to the earths atmosphere as innovations of new technology in development or manufacturing artificial products. Manufacturing these products require many harmful and toxic chemicals. The toxic waste that comes out of these industries like effluent water and gases that are released into the earths atmosphere through burning of these chemicals and the millions of industrial Chimneys, The waste is then dumped in large junk yards polluting the soil and making it impossible for plants to grow.
Air pollution in the recent past has started to deplete the Ozone layer resulting in skin cancer and other skin related diseases. This is because the releases of harmful gases like sulfur dioxide and carbon monoxide which are very toxic and when these chemical gases mix with the earths atmosphere they form a cloud like substance called smog. When the smog cloud in turn condenses and comes down as acid rain which is very harmful to the human skin. To control air pollution we need to grow more trees and emission recycling units in industries and battery operated automobiles.
Land pollution is caused by deforestation and by releasing toxic waste directly into the soil which is not suitable for cultivation of plants for fruits and vegetables. The other main form of land pollution is dumping of plastic and other non degradable stuff in dump yards and junkyards without being recycled. Illegal mining and cutting down trees loosen the earth surface and when it rains the loose soil is washed away and landslides happen. The toxic chemical substance present in fertilizers, insect and pesticides pollute the soil. Methods to control land pollution are use organic chemicals for agriculture purposes and grow trees stop deforestation and illegal mining.
Water pollution is caused when toxic waste flows directly into water bodies like rivers, lakes, ponds and the sea contaminating the water making it difficult for the marine life. The effluent water that flow out of leather tanneries, chemical manufacturing plants and dumping of garbage in water bodies pollute the water. The chemicals that get absorbed in the soil mixes with the ground water when it rains making it impossible to drink. Ways to control water pollution are to build effluent water treatment plants for industries that have chemical discharge. Recycling waste water and not dumping garbage and other waste disposal in water ways like ponds, streams and lakes. Oil leaks from tankers are killing millions of marine wildlife every year this has to be controlled.
Noise pollution is another type of pollution that happens in urban surroundings. Very loud stereo system at home or transport can cause noise pollution. Car alarms that go off during night time waking the neighbors is noise pollution. Having a residence near the industrial area or staying close to the train station or the airport can result in noise pollution. Listening to loud music in a quiet neighborhood is a legal offence in many countries. Construction sites have work timings in order not to disturb the surrounding residential areas. The main kind of noise pollution is automobiles. You can read more articles on pollution control with a cheap internet connection.
