Abstract: | Environmental pollution is going to be a
serious problem that would have to be faced by our country in 21st century.
Pollution is the unwanted change of physical and chemical properties of air, water
and soil, which some or the other harms humanbeings and other animals, plants, industrial
institutions etc. Fast industrialization and technological progress has improved
our materialization life but it has also created unwanted variations in physical,
chemical and biological characteristics of air, water and soil. Our atmosphere has
various useful gases, e.g. oxygen (21%), nitrogen (78%), carbon dioxide (0.03%),
hydrogen (0.5%), carbon-mono-oxide (0.1 ppm), ozone (0.02 ppm) etc. Gases such as
oxygen and carbon dioxide remain balanced in atmosphere due to living beings.In
the respiration process CO2 is left in atmosphere and oxygen is inhaled
by the living beings. Due to deforestation, the quantity of oxygen in the atmosphere
is decreasing. Due to various harmful gases mainly SO2 and
smoke being emitted by the mills, air health
is being affected adversely. SO2 in high concentration harms our lungs.
The smoke is the main factor of air pollution which is emitted from jet aircraft,
motors, scooters, buses, tractors and other machines in which energy is produced
by burning of coal and other organic substances. Due to polluted air various diseases
like, eczema, pimples and anthrex etc. Come into their existence. The main cause
of hole in the Ozone layer of our atmosphere is air pollution. • Lead particles are responsible for nervous system diseases; • Cadmium is poison for respiration ; • NO, is responsible for diseases of ungs, hearts and eyes ; • The substances in the atmosphere outside our house are found in concentration harmful to man and its environment, (World Health Organization) The compounds of chlorine and flourine, especially CFC3 (chloro-fluoro-carbon) which are used as refrigerants, creates air pollution. |
