Air Pollution essay in  English


Those substances which are present in sufficient quantity of the atmosphere in the form of particles, liquid or gas and which cause harm to human beings, plants or animals, are called air pollution.

It has a bad and harmful effect on the people living in that area. People have to face breathing problem. Some have asthma disease and some have to face lung disease. The youth have to face this problem more because they have to earn here to run the family. And they have to spend more and more time there. The bad condition of the area near the factories can be gauged from the fact that if clothes are put to dry at night, then in the morning dark black particles are seen on those clothes. Imagine if someone sleeps on the terrace to get rid of the heat, then what will be the condition of his body in the morning.

(2) Means of transport:- The means of transport are also four steps ahead in increasing air pollution. The air is polluted up to a few kilometers from the factories, but the means of transport have not left even the street-mohalla, village-basti, square-intersection. The smoke that comes out from the burning of petrol and diesel used in the means of transport is even more dangerous and poisonous. We believe that the means of transport has made the convenience of transportation very easy in this latest era, but its ill-effects cannot be ignored.

When the population increases, the demand for employment will increase and for this, factories will have to be established. Due to which air pollution will increase.

Essay on Soil pollution in English 


Defining land pollution, we can say that - “Any unwanted change in the physical, chemical or biological properties of the land which has an effect on humans and other organisms or destroys the natural quality and utility of the land is called land pollution. "

There is only one-fourth of the land on the earth, in which only 280 million square miles are available for human use. Therefore, the responsibility of proper maintenance of this land lies with the humans. But today's increasing population has brought diversity and density in land use. As a result, the problem of 'land-pollution' has arisen which has become a major problem in many parts of the world today. We all know that we do all the work of earning our livelihood on the land like growing crops, setting up of factories etc. In this process we have been continuously polluting our land. Let us know how humans are polluting the land.

Land Pollution Causes:- (i) Plastic containers, cans, plastics, electronic items etc. in household, hospital, school and materials used in the market come under the category of solid waste. Some of these are biodegradable and others are non-biodegradable and difficult to dispose of. It is non-biodegradable waste which causes major land pollution.

(ii) Forests are being cut at a rapid pace to meet the various needs of human beings. Trees are essential to the soil as they help to retain various essential nutrients. Cutting of trees due to mining, urbanization and other reasons are factors that promote land pollution.

(iii) Disposal of chemical waste is difficult. Both liquid and solid waste obtained from pesticides, insecticides and fertilizers are dumped either in landfills or other places. This degrades the soil and creates another type of land pollution.

(iv) Many high-end farming techniques are being used by the farmers these days to ensure higher yield of crops. Overuse of these techniques such as overuse of pesticides and insecticides causes soil erosion. Fruits and vegetables grown in such land are also not considered healthy. It is considered a type of land pollution.

(v) Land pollution is caused by broken glass, plastic, furniture and polythene etc. thrown from the houses.

(vi) Chemicals from industries also cause land pollution as heavy metals get deposited on the soil and contaminate the land.

(vii) During excavation to extract mineral oils from the land, the oil falls on the ground several times and contaminates the soil.

(viii) During rains, the contaminants present in the air come to the ground and pollute the land.


Essay  on  Sound Pollution in English


Noise pollution is also harmful like other pollution. Noise pollution is a cause of mental pain as well as physical pain. Today, the way the means of transport have increased on the roads, big factories have been established, due to which noise pollution has also reached its peak condition. When you take out on the streets, the sound of the whistling of the car shakes the curtains of the ears. When you go to the party, the music system makes your heart beat. If this situation continues, then a time will come that the hearing ability of the people will decrease. If regular and strict steps are not taken to stop it, then it will become a very serious problem for the future generations.

High level of noise pollution brings irritability in the behavior of many human beings especially in patients, elderly and pregnant women. Unwanted loud noises cause deafness and other complex ear problems like damage to the eardrums, ear pain, etc. Sometimes loud music pleases those who listen, but rather disturbs other people.



Causes of Noise Pollution :- (1) Industrialization has put our health and life at risk because all the industries (big or small) use machines which produces loud noise in very high volume. Other equipment used in factories and industries (compressors, generators, heat exhaust fans, mills) also generates a lot of noise.

(2) Common social events such as weddings, parties, pubs, clubs, discos, or places of worship create noise in residential areas such as temples, mosques, etc.

 (3) Increasing means of transport (bikes, airplanes, underground trains etc.) in cities create loud noise.

 (4) General manufacturing activities (including construction of mines, bridges, buildings, dams, stations, etc.), involving large machinery, produce high levels of noise.

(5) The use of household appliances in daily life is the main cause of noise pollution.
