Protect and Preserve The Environment:
Protect and Preserve The Environment: Understanding Harmful Materials in Our Environment Protect and Preserve The Environment is a critical issue affecting our planet. It involves the introduction of harmful materials—known as pollutants—into the environment. These pollutants can have detrimental effects on air, water, and land quality. Let’s delve into the different aspects of pollution.
Air Pollution:
- Air pollution consists of chemicals or particles in the air that can harm humans, animals, and plants.
Sources of air pollution include vehicle emissions, industrial processes, and burning fossil fuels.
- Even invisible pollutants can be dangerous, causing eye irritation, breathing difficulties, and increasing the risk of lung cancer.
Water Pollution:
- Water pollution affects rivers, lakes, and oceans.
- Pollutants include sewage, industrial waste, and agricultural runoff.
- Pesticides and chemicals seep into waterways, harming aquatic life.
Land Pollution:
- Landfills collect garbage and other land pollutants.
- As space for landfills diminishes, we face challenges in waste disposal.
- Urbanization and industrial activities contribute to land pollution.
