Pollution has been a problem since a long time. The harmful gases emitting from factories have affected our environment drastically, due to which health issues are cropping up. Pollution has also increased due to deforestation and other harmful pollutants affecting our ozone layer. Besides air pollution, even noise, soil, light and water pollution have spread rapidly because of human intervention.
The Ozone layer is considered crucial for the existence of the ecosystem on the planet, which is depleting due to increased pollution. Most of the pollution we cause results from the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, natural gas, and gasoline to produce electricity and power our vehicles.
Much of pollution is caused by human activities although there are natural causes, such as forest fires. Humans are currently the main contributor to pollution of our planet.
Sulfur dioxide emitted from the combustion of fossil fuels like coal, petroleum and other factory combustibles are one the major causes of air pollution.
Mining is a process wherein minerals below the earth are extracted using large equipment. During the process dust and chemicals are released in the air causing massive air pollution.
The Ozone layer is a belt of natural gases in the stratosphere that protects the planet. It protects us from harmful ultraviolet B radiation that the Sun emits. Due to pollution, our ozone later has been depleting and causing a threat to the habitat of animals and birds. Human beings, being the most intelligent, have been wasting resources and polluting earth.
World Pollution Control Day is celebrated every year on 2nd of December to remind everyone for a need to act immediately to stop the earth from getting more polluted. In India, it is observed to honor the thousands of human beings who had lost their lives because of the Bhopal gas calamity. More than 500,000 people (of which around 2259 died on the spot) were exposed to the poisonous gas of MIC (Methyl Isocyanate) on 2 December, 1984. Later, it was declared by the government of Madhya Pradesh that around 3,787 deaths were related to the gas tragedy.
