Environmental Pollution: Effect of Pollution On The Health

Environmental pollution negatively impacts human health, the environment, and climate in several ways. Pollution in the air from vehicle emissions and industry damages respiratory systems and increases risks of viruses and infections. Contaminated land and water from waste and chemicals pollutes soil and crops for food and poses health risks when consumed. Climate change caused by pollution like greenhouse gases leads to problems like global warming, ozone depletion, and more extreme weather that damages ecosystems. To ensure survival of humanity, measures must be taken to reduce environmental pollution.

Environment is the surroundings in which we live.

But the
contamination of our environment by pollutants is environmental
pollution. The current stage of the earth that we are seeing is the cause
of centuries of exploitation of earth and its resources.

Moreover, the earth cannot restore its balance because


of environmental pollution. The human force has created and
destroyed life on earth. Human plays a vital role in the degradation of
the environment.

Effect of pollution on the health

The environmental pollution, directly and indirectly, affects the lives of


humans and other species. These living beings co-existed on the earth
with human from centuries.

Effect on Air

Carbon and dust particles string up with the air in the form of
smog, damaging respiratory system, haze, and smoke. These are caused
by the emission of industrial and manufacturing units by burning of
fossil fuels, vehicle combustion of carbon fumes.

Moreover, these factors affect the immune system of birds which


become a carrier of viruses and infections.

Besides, it also affects the body system and body organs.

Effects on Land, Soil, and Food

Human’s organic and chemical both waste harm the land and soil with
its decomposition. Also, it introduces some chemical in the soil and
water. Land and soil pollution mainly caused by the use of
pesticides, fertilizers, soil erosion, and crop residues.

Effect on Water

Water gets contaminated easily with any pollutant whether it is human


waste or chemical discharge from factories. Also, we use this water for
irrigation of crops and drinking. But, because of infection they become
contaminated too. Besides, an animal dies because they drink this same
contaminated water.

Moreover, around 80% of pollutants of land such as chemical, industrial


and agricultural waste end up in the water bodies.

Besides, these water bodies ultimately connect to the sea which means
it indirectly pollutes the biodiversity of the sea.

Effect on Food

Because of contaminated soil and water, the crop or agricultural


produce also get toxic. Furthermore, this contaminated food effect our
health and organs. From the beginning of their life, these crops are laced
with chemical components that reach a mass level until the time of
harvest.

Effect on Climate

Climate change is also a cause of environmental pollution. Also, it


affects the physical and biological components of the ecosystem.

Moreover, ozone depletion, greenhouse gases, global warming all these


climate changes are a cause of environmental pollution.
Besides, their effect can be fatal for our upcoming generations. The
irregular extreme cold and hot climate affect the ecological system of
the earth.

Furthermore, some unstable climate changes are earthquakes, famine,


smog, carbon particles, shallow rain or snow, thunderstorms, volcanic
eruption, and avalanches are all because of climate change that happens
all because of environmental pollution.

In conclusion, man has exploited the wealth of nature at the cost of his
and environments health. Also, the effect that is now emerging rapidly
is all because of the activities of humans for hundreds or thousands of
years.

Above all, if we wish to survive and continue our life on earth then we
have to take measures. These measures will help is securing our as well
as our next generation future.
