The pollution of air water, land and noise around us is called environmental pollution. This pollution affects our health and causes losses to us in different ways.
Air pollution is caused by smoke from vehicles, chimneys of mills and factories. If we inhale impure air, it will cause great harm to our lungs. Water is polluted when dirty, poisonous refuse matter from mills and factories are discharged into rivers and other waterways. If we drink this water, it will affect our health. The raucous sound of the horns of vehicles, microphones, fireworks and similar noises cause sound pollution.
It affects our power of hearing. Therefore, we should work towards reducing pollution if we want to live a healthy life.
