Pollution is defined as the contamination of the environment with harmful substances and these substances are called as "Pollutants".
Four Types of pollution :
- Air pollution
- Water pollution
- Noise pollution
- Soil pollution
Pollution is increasing day by day. It has become a major problem in India. The increasing technology gives rise to increase in pollution level.
I found some of the methods to stop the pollution :
1. Try to use the public transports instead of using personal vehicles just to travel a small distances.
2. Avoid using crackers on any occasions or festivals as these are a main source of causing Air pollution.
3. Say No to plastic bags. You can use homemade bags or bags made from jute and paper.
4. Do not use fertilizers or chemicals for crop yield. This well help in reducing soil pollution.
5. The usage of loud speakers in temples or public places should be avoided to control noise pollution.
Examples of Pollution :
- usage of plastic bags
- fertilizers and pesticides for soil fertility
- smoke from industries
