Types and effects of Pollution
What is Pollution?
Pollution is, therefore, anything that causes the land, water, air and other substances of the environment to be dirty and unsafe for use. Hence, effects of pollution highly disturbs the ecosystem and affects our lifestyle.
Types and effects of pollution
Moreover, the major type of pollution is air pollution. It occurs when fossils, bad air, dust, and harmful gases enter the atmosphere and make it difficult for living beings to breathe properly. In fact, it is the major reason for global warming, respiratory and heart problems. It also affects the animal population.
The second one is water pollution. We have beautiful lakes but we don’t appreciate it and pollute them. We pollute them by throwing industrial waste, sewage water, oil leakage, and marine dumping. As a result, there is less water available for drinking, cooking, bathing, and washing.
The third is noise pollution. Traffic noise and unpleasant sounds cause disruption in natural balance. Thus, it leads to hearing problems, sleeping disorders and problem communicating.
Effects of Pollution on Animals
Our fishes are dying as we throw waste in water and contaminate it. Because of this, the marine ecosystem is affected. The food chains are contaminated. On the other hand, air pollution spread diseases in the animals we eat like sheep, goats. As a result, those diseases indirectly affect us badly causing diarrhea.
Effects of pollution on Plants
Meanwhile, air pollution affects our deserts, mountain lakes, beaches, and forests, which are home to many animals. On the other hand, ozone damages leaf by entering into their stomata. It also burns plant tissues. Moreover, it can also affect the natural vegetation of various countries.
Nitrogen and Sulfur deposition can affect water plants and animals. Hence, this deposition can also cause chemical changes in the soil that alter microorganisms, plants, and trees. In addition to this, decomposition can increase insects and disease outbreaks. It may disrupt the ecosystem and change the fire frequency.
Pollution prevention measures
In order to prevent pollution, we should try to store household chemicals as far away as possible. Moreover, the windows of our rooms should be kept open to dilute the bad air. We should drink water from well-monitored resources. Likewise, we should avoid the use of pesticides, herbicides, and insecticides. We should prefer using bicycles and rickshaws instead of cars. Lastly, we should avoid burning leaves, trash, and other materials.
Benefits of reduced Pollution
Now, when we have a pollution-free environment we can save ourselves from many diseases like lubricated joints, fatigue, and other skin problems. Drinking clean water can help you live longer and healthier. When there is no air pollution, your body regulates its cooling system and helps remove toxins from your body. Your memory improves and your body nourishes. Animal and plant ecosystem secure by harmful waste, gases, and materials.
