Pollution Changes The Climate As A
Today we can see great changes occur in our environment. i.e there is a great change occur in our weather, that rain cannot comes in their time, the temperature of the earth is increasing day by day, these changes are occurring due to men's efforts that it contaminates the whole world for their comfort and luxury.
Anything that is our surroundings is our environment. i.e air water land that lies to our surroundings is our environment. we think our environment is like heaven but it is totally opposite to that because men want luxury and comfort so they did not take care of anyone that its comfort damages the lives of another one.
What environmental changes can occur in our Environment?
A lot of environmental changes occur in our surroundings.it affects our ecosystem, its affects our whole life cycle. today the rain can not comes in their time the temperature of earth increases with time, those cities in which temperature is so high. the temperature of the earth is reaching about 50c* or above, the glaciers are changes into a liquid it will become the cause of big disasters.
What are the things that contaminate our environment?
According to the dictionary, air pollution is the contamination of air by smoke and harmful gases, mainly oxides of carbon, sulfur, and nitrogen. (And maybe by that smelly uncle.) Some examples of air pollution include:
- Exhaust fumes from vehicles
- The burning of fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, or gas
- Harmful off-gassing from things such as paint, plastic production, and so on
- Radiation spills or nuclear accidents
Air pollution is linked to asthma, allergies and other respiratory illnesses. You can more about how the environment affects human health here.
Land Pollution:
Land pollution is the degradation of the Earth's surface caused by misuse of resources and improper disposal of waste. Some examples of land pollution include:
- Litter found on the side of the road
- Illegal dumping in natural habitats
- Oil spills that happen inland
- The use of pesticides and other farming chemicals
- Damage and debris caused by unsustainable mining and logging practices
- Radiation spills or nuclear accidents
Land pollution is responsible for damage done to the natural habitat of animals, deforestation, and damage done to natural resources, and the general ugly-ing up of our communities. (So stop being a litterbug, eh?)
Light Pollution:
Light pollution is the brightening of the night sky inhibiting the visibility of stars and planets by the use of improper lighting of communities. Some examples of what causes light pollution:
- Street lamps that shine light in all directions, instead of with a hood to point light downward toward the street.
- Extra, unnecessary lights around the home
- Cities that run lights all night long
Light pollution uses more energy (by shining more light up instead of down, meaning you need brighter bulbs for the same amount of light), may affect human health and our sleep cycles, and most importantly, corrupts our kids' telescopes and their curiosity. (I grew up in a city. My first no-light night in the country blew my mind. Let's not make that such a rare occasion!)
Noise Pollution:
Noise pollution is any loud sounds that are either harmful or annoying to humans and animals. Some examples of noise pollution:
- Airplanes, helicopters, and motor vehicles
- Construction or demolition noise
- Human activities such as sporting events or concerts
Noise pollution can be disruptive to humans' stress levels, may be harmful to unborn babies, and drives animals away by causing nervousness and decreasing their ability to hear prey or predators.
Thermal Pollution:
Thermal pollution is the increase in temperature caused by human activity. A few examples of this include:
- Warmer lake water from nearby manufacturing (using cool water to cool the plant and then pump it back into the lake)
- Included in thermal pollution should also be the increase in temperatures in areas with lots of concrete or vehicles, generally in cities
These kinds of environmental pollution can cause aquatic life to suffer or die due to the increased temperature, can cause discomfort to communities dealing with higher temperatures, and will affect plant-life in and around the area.
Visual Pollution:
Visual pollution is what you would call anything unattractive or visualize damaging to the nearby landscape. This tends to be a highly subjective topic. Some examples of visual pollution:
- Skyscrapers that blocks a natural view
- Graffiti or carving on trees, rocks, or other natural landscapes
- Billboards, litter, abandoned homes, and junkyards could also be considered among three kinds of environmental pollution
Mostly, visual kinds of environmental pollution are annoying and ugly, although some may say they are also depressing, and they, of course, affect the surrounding landscape with the changes they cause.
Water Pollution:
Water pollution is the contamination of any body of water (lakes, groundwater, oceans, etc). Some examples of water pollution:
- Raw sewage running into lake or streams
- Industrial waste spills contaminating groundwater
- Radiation spills or nuclear accidents
- Illegal dumping of substances or items within bodies of water
- Biological contamination, such as bacteria growth
- Farm runoff into nearby bodies of water
These kinds of environmental pollution are linked to health issues in humans, animals, and plant-life. You can read more about how the environment is affecting our health here.
