Environmental Pollution

(sakina jaffar, quetta)

Our earth is a paradise if we live on it in a sensible way; otherwise it is the other name of hell. Unfortunately, at present, man is misusing the resources of the earth which can spell a doom for his own existence. Air, soil, water and space all are getting polluted. It is high time that man gives attention to the hazard of pollution of all kinds. Otherwise, there may be not only wide-spread epidemics, but even his existence on this planet may be in danger. Humanity depends upon the environment of earth .For the development and betterment of human society pollution free environment is necessary .Environmental changes plays a vital role in security of human beings, social relations and in completion of human needs.Air pollution is taking place because of mindless felling down of trees and poisonous emissions from chimneys of factories and automobiles. Excessive use of insecticides and pesticides is causing soil pollution. Poisonous elements are finding their way to the food- grains and milk.

Water channels like rivers and canals are getting polluted due to the release of highly deleterious effluents into them by the industrial units. Even sea water is getting polluted. Tons of debris from hurtling space-ships is polluting the space. Experimental nuclear explosions and leakages from nuclear plants also cause atmospheric pollution.

Quite another type of pollution is the noise pollution. It is caused by loud-speakers, factory buzzers, vehicular horns, high pitch of T. V. sets and radios and noises in streets and markets. Noise pollution can cause great injury to our delicate nerves. In fact, all kinds of pollution are harmful to man in more than one ways.

Today the situation is that, that at global and regional levels many evidences are available which tells us that global warming is actually the cause of increase in temperature. The process of melting of glaciers, average rise in the sea level, and shortage of water decline in the fertility of land, shortage of food is due to environmental changes. Unusual waves of summer and winter, tornadoes, floods are increasing and in future these effects will gradually increase .The situation is so devastating that according to research 2 million people dies due to internal and external pollution. Ozone layer which protects the earth from ultra violet rays is being damaged badly and availability of pure drinking water is gradually decreasing. Water pollution is the greatest cause of death in world today; if the shortage of pure drinking water continues at this rate then in 2025 1.8 billion people would be living in those areas or countries where water will almost disappear whereas two-third of the population would be facing shortage of water. Therefore we must take some steps to finish pollution and at least take a step forward in reducing these effects which will be better for people of our country.
