Environmental damage is a global problem. Pollution of air, soil, water occurs through human fault, through dumping waste into rivers, improper disposal of nuclear supplies, and the use of pesticides in agriculture.
Air pollution
Air pollution is caused by the release of harmful substances. There are more cars on the roads every year, and the exhaust fumes generated by cars every day pollute the air. Industry also has a strong negative impact on the atmosphere. Huge quantities of harmful emissions are released into the atmosphere every day from factories and plants. The cement, coal, and steel industries pollute the atmosphere the most, which leads to the destruction of the ozone layer, which protects the planet from aggressive ultraviolet rays.
Contamination with radioactive elements
This type of environmental pollution causes the most serious damage. Accidents at nuclear power plants, nuclear waste stored in the earth for decades, the development of nuclear weapons and work in uranium mines affect both human health and the pollution of the entire planet.
Soil pollution
Pesticides and harmful additives that are commonly used in agriculture pollute the soil. Waste from agricultural enterprises, which is dumped into gutters, also has an extremely negative effect on its condition. Deforestation and mining also damage the soil.
Water pollution
Water bodies are subject to severe toxic pollution due to waste dumping into rivers. Tons of human waste are released into the water every day. In addition, plastic bottles and plastic products are very harmful to nature, which pose a great danger to the inhabitants of the fauna. Rivers and other bodies of water in large cities with developed industry are especially affected.
Noise pollution
This type of environmental pollution is specific. Unpleasant, loud, harsh sounds that factories, cars, trains make every day cause noise pollution. Natural phenomena such as volcanic eruptions and hurricanes also cause noise pollution. In humans, these processes cause headaches and other health problems.
In terms of its scale, pollution can be global, regional and local. However, any of them leads humanity to health problems, as well as a reduction in life by about 8-12 years. Unfortunately, every year environmental pollution progresses, and only humanity itself can cope with this problem.
