PREVENTIVE MEASURE OF POLLUTION



AIR POLLUTION

A. REDUCE THE AIR POLLUTION

Prevent as far as you can use own vehicle for going outside for ride. You can schedule pre-planned trips by sharing vehicle with your friend or by using public transport. Make your own lunch to avoid outgoings in lunch. Avoid driving out during rush hours.

B. SAVE ENERGY

While saving energy whether you are at home, school or any other place. You will be reducing air polluting particulates as well as carbon emissions that pollute the air.

C. USE ECO-FRIENDLY PRODUCTS AT YOUR HOME

During purchasing of household particles prefer for clean and green products those should be chemical free and eco-friendly.

LAND POLLUTION

There are three steps to prevent land pollution. The three R’s:

A. REDUCE
B. REUSE
C. RECYCLE


A. REDUCE

Lower the buying of non-renewable articles go environment friendly to reduce the land pollution.

B. REUSE

Try to use your articles as far as you can because reusing will help you to less degrade environment.

C. RECYCLE

Try your best to recycle renewable things by damping them in recycle bin instead of throwing them here and there creating land pollution formation.

D. COMPOST

Always dump vegetables and fruits peel inside the soil so that it can prepare compost for itself for farming instead of using fertilizer which will reduce land pollution.

WATER POLLUTION

A. Sewage treatments

Water before releasing inside water bodies should be treated well so that pollution could be decreased. Contaminated water should ‘not get mixed with water bodies. If water gets collected together over a place then it should be removed over from there. So, as to prevent mosquitoes to breed over there and cause disease.

B. Prevent river water to get polluted

Cleaning can’t be done if water is flowing speedily. A variety of non-renewable waste is discharged in water due to which water becomes polluted. It can be further asset of for the cause of disease in human and plants and animals as well. Thus, every effort should be made to prevent the water from contamination. There should be a ban on throwing waste in water bodies so that water pollution could be reduced.

C. Keep the pond water clean and safe

Water bodies are gifted by nature to full-fill our daily needs  instead today we are using this to wash our clothes and utensils and other articles of home and discharge that dirty water directly into the water bodies. Even we use these water bodies as a bathroom for our cattle’s and pets to clean-up them. Human use these water bodies for stool secretion which is the major cause of water pollution. We shouldn’t use these water bodies to full-fill our needs bathrooms are man-made creation to improve this.

NOISE POLLUTION

A. Noise proof rooms should be made. So that noise shouldn’t come out of the room and our environment could become noise pollution free.

B. Use of pleasant sound horns should be used. Noisy trucks should be banned.

C. Noise producing industries, railway station, airports should be made far off houses and towns.

D. Community law enforces should check the, misuse of loud speakers, discos, outdoor parties, and public announcement system as well.

E. Community laws should ban notice near schools, colleges and hospitals as well.

F. Planting trees near the school, colleges, hospitals and societies as well is a good idea to reduce noise pollution.

ONLY CAMPAIGNS CAN’T REDUCE POLLUTION BUT INDULGING YOURSELF WILL HELP TO REDUCE IT.

Air pollution wreaking havoc on Delhi


In a latest study done by the World Health Organisation (WHO), India’s national capital Delhi is the most polluted city in the world. According to the reports of the Ambient Air Pollution (AAP), Delhi has the uppermost concentration of PM2.5- kind of air pollution, which is considered most threatening and responsible for causing multiple respiratory issues and other health complications. The condition is menacing in Delhi because it has PM2.5 concentrations of 153 micrograms and PM10 concentrations of 286 micrograms which are way beyond the permissible limits.

In 2012, WHO released estimates about 7 million deaths because of air pollution exposure. This data thwarted previous estimates and substantiates that air pollution is now the world’s leading environmental health hazard. Reducing pollution levels could save countless lives.

The new data reveals a stronger connection between indoor and outdoor air pollution exposure and heart ailments, like strokes, as well as between air pollution and cancer. This is in addition to air pollutant’s role in the growth of chronic respiratory infections and obstreperous pulmonary disorders.

Deaths caused by outdoor air pollution


Deaths caused by indoor air pollution

  • Stroke: 34%
  • Ischemic heart disease: 26%
  • Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD): 22%
  • Lower respiratory issues in children: 12%
  • Lung cancer: 6%

Numerous people are exposed to indoor and outdoor air pollution. Dr Carlos Dora (WHO Coordinator for Public Health, Environmental and Social Determinants of Health) says, “One of the reasons for causing air pollution is mismanagement of energy, waste management and transport sectors. WHO and health sectors have a positive role to play in deciphering scientific proof into result-driven policies that will save millions of lives.”

The release of this data is an important step in creating a road-map for WHO in preventing air pollution related diseases. This includes development of WHO-hosted global platform on air quality and supporting countries through appropriate guidance and information about health gains and key interventions.
