Pollution

Pollution refers to the introduction of harmful substances or contaminants into the natural environment, resulting in adverse effects on ecosystems, human health, and the overall quality of life. It can occur in various forms, including air pollution (the presence of harmful gases and particles in the atmosphere), water pollution (contamination of water bodies with toxic chemicals, waste, and pathogens), soil pollution (degradation of land quality due to the presence of hazardous materials), and noise pollution (unwanted or harmful levels of noise). Pollution can arise from various sources, such as industrial activities, automobile emissions, agricultural practices, and household waste. The consequences of pollution are significant, leading to health issues, loss of biodiversity, climate change, and ecological damage, making it a critical global concern that necessitates collective efforts for mitigation and prevention.
