Essay on Pollution
The word “pollute” means to destroy the purity of things. To make everything dirty. Pollution, today, has become a grave problem which is destroying the purity of the air, the seas and the land threaten the survival of living things.
Pollution is the result of reckless science and violent technology. The massive use of pesticides and herbicides is poisoning the ecosystem of the earth. Industrial waste and automotive emission represent a major and perhaps lasting hazard to life.
Atmospheric pollution as a result of emissions of carbon monoxide, sulphur oxides and hydrocarbons has become the subject of growing concern and has led to increasing pressure for restrictions on the burning of fossil fuels. It is estimated that currently more than 20 billion tons of carbon dioxide are being released into the atmosphere in this way every year. The discharge of these air pollutants is infecting river, lakes and oceans.
Pakistan has a high rate of pollution growth. More mouths to feed compel an increase in production and result in more and more industrialization. All the factories give off smoke and gases as part of their moral operation and have a harmful effect on the health of the people living in the surroundings.
Very often these chemical poisons are carried for miles in the air and pollute the atmosphere.
If pollution is not checked, the solid and liquid wastes discharged into the rivers and canals would endanger marine, animals and human life. This factor is of grave concern because Pakistan depends on its waterways for the fulfilment to so many of its needs.
Auto rickshaw, buses and trucks leaving dark trails of carbon monoxide are a common sight in the big cities of the country. Unfortunately, we have no noise abatement society or agency to curb such pollution.
