Environmental Pollution Effects on Living Beings (original) (raw)

Environmental pollution and its impact on living beings

GESA, 2024

The word environmental pollution basically describes pollution related to air, water and soil ecosystem, that is directly and indirectly affect lives on earth. Climate change is a serious subject to talk regards damaging species in ocean that took a part of environmental disturbance. The main reasons behind disturbing ecosystem and harming natural beauty of environment are anthropogenic activities. To fulfil own desires, human beings are exploiting natural resources unexpectedly and ultimately damaging ecosystem via polluting air, water and soil systems. Present article’s main focus is on the different environmental pollution and its impact on lives of plant.

Impact of Pollution on Environment and Health: An Investigation

Since the dawn of the Industrial age there has been slow accretion of wastes on the planet. These wastes are the by products in the production of Industrial goods. In contrast to natural processes where everything gets transformed into some form or other within a certain period, these Industrial wastes left over have accumulated in the atmosphere, on the earth and in water bodies. According to field study data focused that, public health steadily declined due to consumption of water polluted by effluents. Residents of the village suffer from epilepsy, respiratory diseases, skin and throat problem, glaucoma, paraplegia, jaundice, typhoid, diarrhea, joint pains and cancer. Women and children are the most affected. In some cases even the pregnancy is affected. Also the total land became barren/ damaged is 266 acres belonging to 177 farmers, along with agricultural equipment loss. Nearly 100 families were lost their occupation i.e. toddy tapping, about 322 animals were died of consumption of polluted water. Industrialization, contrary to belief, has resulted in unemployment. Pollution has displaced several traditional families and professions. Thus, industrialization had deprived the rural people of the drinking water facilities which they were having earlier and it had also caused a change in the source of irrigation as most of them who were depending on tanks and steam water for irrigation.

Pollution: An emergent global issue, and its impact on human health

isara solutions, 2017

It has been a remarkable increase in knowledge about different kinds of pollution and health of human. The objective of this article is to analyze the effects of different types of pollution on health of human through a review of various studies. It has been reported in many studies that atmospheric pollution has detrimental impacts on health, mainly focus on respiratory and cardiovascular outcomes. Drinking of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) contaminated water produces various water-borne diseases and also irrigation with this water affect the crop quality, which ultimately affects human health. Heavy metals and other pollutants present in soil cause toxicity of agricultural production and have a negative effect on human health. Noise pollution may results sleep disturbance and annoyance. Further studies should broaden the analysis to social and psychological aspects that influenced by pollution.

Environmental Pollution, Causes and Consequences

Pollution induces harmful effects on environment and health security. Main deep causes will be analyzed including natural disasters like volcanoes eruption, climate change as well as and men-caused disasters which are nuclear explosions and dioxin sprays.

Environmental Pollution: A Great Hazard in The Survival of Man

CENTRAL ASIAN JOURNAL OF MEDICAL AND NATURAL SCIENCE, 2022

Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into the natural environment that cause adverse change. Pollution can take the form of any substance (solid, liquid, or gas) or energy (such as radioactivity, heat, sound, or light). Pollutants, the components of pollution, can be either foreign substances/energies or naturally occurring contaminants. Although environmental pollution can be caused by natural events, the word pollution generally implies that the contaminants have an anthropogenic source – that is, a source created by human activities. Pollution is often classed as point source or nonpoint source pollution. In 2015, pollution killed nine million people worldwide (one in six deaths). This remained unchanged in 2019, with little real progress against pollution being identifiable. Air pollution accounted for ¾ of these earlier deaths.Major forms of pollution include air pollution, light pollution, litter, noise pollution, plastic pollution, soil contamination, radioactive contamination, thermal pollution, visual pollution, and water pollution.

Pollution and its Impact on Sustainable Development

Pollution and its direct and indirect negative effects on humans, and animals is one of the most important issues that researchers have been studying and searching for radical solutions. Therefore, the research sheds light on the definition of pollution, its causes and environmental effects, its most important types, especially radioactive, industrial and household waste, and their levels of risk. The research focuses on the issue of air pollution resulting from fumes, smoke, and gases emitted from cars, factories, volcanic eruptions, and others. It also absorbs the problem of soil and water pollution due to the failure to properly treat factory, household and other waste, and the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides harmful to water, air and soil. The research addresses the topic of noise pollution, and its causes by limiting loud noises from radio, television, cars, airplanes, music, etc.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION: IMPACT ON HEALTH AND ECONOMY- AN OVERVIEW STUDY

The earth is a victim of on slaughter of a materialistic civilization and industrialization. As a result there is rapid depletion of natural resources. Life on the earth being posed to severe threats, nature has started sending us warning signals in the form of droughts, floods, tsunamis, vast changes in climatic patterns, global warming, acid rains, sprawling desertification, depletion of atmospheric ozone shield and many hitherto unheard diseases.1 In the last 100 years mankind managed top destroy much of what took nature millions of years to create on the earth. At no point of time in the history of our planet has so much damage been done. Mankind has poisoned the river systems through out the world and this, in turn, has upset the ecological balance of the rivers and oceans. Trees are indiscriminately being chopped down because of the greed of man

Ecological Effect of Pollution

International Journal of Chemical Engineering and Applications, 2010

Global pollution is a major problem that is yet to be solved. There are several causes of increasing pollution such as burning fossils, deforestation, increase in number of industries and vehicles etc. Humans are almost responsible for all types of pollution. The impact on global environment is becoming more serious. These impacts are discussed in this paper along with probable controlling methods of pollution.

Environmental Pollution and its Effects on Human Health

Interdisciplinary Research in Education

Environmental pollution poses a widespread issue with significant implications for the well-being of individuals and populations worldwide. The escalating utilization of fossil fuels, improper sewage disposal practices, and indiscriminate use of agricultural pesticides contribute to the pervasive presence of environmental pollution across the globe. To assess the state of environmental pollution and its impact on human health on a global scale, a comprehensive review of relevant scholarly articles was undertaken. The deleterious effects of pollution manifest in elevated rates of cancer, cardiovascular disease, respiratory ailments, mental disorders, and diarrhea. Each year, approximately 7 million individuals succumb to air pollution-related causes, while an additional 1.6 million people perish due to diseases stemming from water pollution. Environmental pollution emerges as a principal determinant of human morbidity and mortality worldwide, with low-income nations displaying height...
