1. Introduction to Environmental Pollution:
The systematic pollution of our environment is one of the biggest
hazards that humanity faces today. People are becoming increasingly
aware of the threat posed by pollution and governments are enacting
legislations aimed at protecting the environment. During the last few
decades, the global environment has gone through serious
challenges and changes. Population pressure has escaped rapidly
consequently resources have dwindled. Pollution is an undesirable
change in the physical and biological operations of our air, land and
water. They may be or will be harmful to human life, species our
industries process; living condition and culture assets or deteriorate
our material resources Human being can be exposed to pollutant in
many ways through the air they breathe, the water they drink, the
food they eat and the cosmetics, drugs and other products they use.
The continuing discovery of previously unsuspected hazards from
various chemicals and other substances underscore the point. The
environmental and human health effect of even those substances
identified for priority consideration. Scientific developments have
been a growing concern about the links between the health and
environment and worldwide industrial, land and resources
management practices. Today there is a growing concern for global
scale environmental degradation brought by combinations of all
people on earth. Manufacturing plants agriculture production and
other sources release pollutants into the air, water and soil,
pollutants are intentionally moved away through the management of
waste including residues removed from the air and water by
pollution control equipment
Pollutants also move among the media by changing into more, or
less hazardous substances as they move through environment. They
may accumulate in sinks for long period of time and people often are
exposed to the same pollutant through the one medium by breathing
air, drinking water, eating food or absorbing it through skin. Generally
new industrial plants reduce less waste than older ones. One report
estimates that new factories cut the amount of hazardous waste to
half. Dilution which increases the volume of waste, is now more
common than segregations. Firms dilute waste to lower pollutant
concentration for discharge into a sewage treatment plant or directly
into air or water, or to inject them more easily into deep wells. To
save money, small electroplating firms after mix their organic waste
with those containing metals and cyanide before dumping them in
the sewer rather than treating them independently. The sewage
treatment plant can degrade the organic waste but the metal of
cyanide accumulates in the plant’s sludge. A cross media approach
designed to avoid this problem might require the discharger to
segregate and treat separately the heavy metals and cyanide to
prevent their release. Once wastes are segregated, they are easy to
recycle or treat. As a better understanding of nature and extent of
Cross media problem is gained, society will also find better ways to
improve both the effectiveness and efficiency of pollution control
policies.
2. Meaning of Environmental Pollution:
Ecosystem is a natural unit of living community (plants and
animals) and non-living environment. The biotic and abiotic
community are constantly interacting and exchanging
materials and energy between themselves.
The life in an ecosystem depends upon the environment
which provides energy in the form of sunlight and nutrients
for the living components of the ecosystem Waste matter and
energy produced by human beings through, their
irresponsible and wanting activities cause disturbance in the
natural environment or is the ecosystem is called
environment pollution.
Environmental pollution is the result of increased production
of waste products by the industries, rapid urbanization,
wanting and irresponsible. Harnessing of the natural
resources as well as unplanned sewage and waste disposal
from industries and cities etc. Thus, presence of any
environment pollutant called environment pollution.
Nature has provided the basic ingredients for living in
abundance and what ever is used up during normal course of
living is recaptured through natural cycle. Any effort to
disturb this process is termed as Environment pollution. In a
homeostatic ecosystem there is a balance between the living
organisms and the environment. Disturbance in any
component of the environment is likely to have a harmful
effect on the ecosystem.
Any change in the environment which contributes to its
deterioration is called pollution of the environment and the
agent which causes the pollution is called the pollutant.

This change in the physical, chemical or biological
characteristics of our physical environment (air, water and
land) is undesirable and harms human life, other living
organisms and cultural assets. The resulting impact on the
environment has been so massive with far-reaching
consequences that the very existence of life is threatened.
Pollution is an undesirable change in the physical and
biological operations of our air, land and water. They may be
or will be harmful to human life, species our industries
process; living condition and culture assets or deteriorate our
material resources.
The word environment connotes the whole gamat of physical
surroundings i.e., land, air and water along with the biotic
components (all living forms/which are responsible for the
plant and animal kingdom to survive and proferaterate
Environmental segments are atmosphere, hydrosphere,
lithosphere and biosphere.
Man is the main agent for polluting the environment Nature
can cope with certain degree of pollution because it has its
own cleaning agents.
the pollution is called the pollutant.
