Group Discussion :: ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION AND HEALTH HAZARDS
Any undesirable physical,
chemical or biological change caused to land, water, air and other natural
resources is termed as environmental pollution. These pollutions make life very
difficult. Though there are various causes for pollution, man himself is a major
cause. Over-pollution is the chief cause. Air pollution is due to industrial
and automobile exhaust. These contain carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide and
oxides of nitrogen. They cause breathing trouble and even cancer. Plants are
unable to synthesis food. The protective ozone layer is affected thereby,
exposing us to the ill effects of radioactive rays. Accumulation of rubbish,
polythene and plastic containers, glass and porcelain, result in land
pollution. They cause various diseases. The letting in of domestic sewage
waste, industrial waste and tannery effluents, pollute drinking water. The use
of excess of chemical fertilizers, insecticides, pesticides and DDT, pollute
both land and water. They lead to many deadly, contagious diseases. Oil leaks
in the oceans affect marine life. They endanger many marine species. Gas
leakage, leakage of nuclear reactors also poses several threats to us. The
latest is the leak of cyanide from a gold mining company in to the blue Danube.
More than 80% of the marine species is dead. The river has turned grey. Unless
suitable steps are taken to check pollution, mankind will be destroyed along
with other organisms.
