A major part of polluted air in atmosphere is because of vehicle and other means of transportation via water road or air. Vehicle pollution needs a quick attention to control over it in manner to save people’s health and to avoid global warming. In India some of its metro cities are under so much polluter […]
Waste management is the complete process of handling, processing, transporting, storage, recycling and disposal of human, industrial and environmental waste. Waste management is a global phenomenon but its ramifications are more prominent in developing countries. Solid waste management which is a very massive task is getting more complicated with rise in urbanization, overpopulation, commercialization, social
Global warming has had a huge impact on the oceans and marine life. It has increased the ocean temperature, caused acidification of ocean water and brought about many alterations in the biogeochemistry of our beautiful oceans. Global Warming Impact on Ocean Currents Ocean currents flow far and wide and play a significant role in determining
Noise pollution is the pollution caused by the various noise sources whether by the industrial or non-industrial affecting the human beings, plants and animals health in many aspects. Regularly increasing level of the noise pollution is keeping the lives of people of present generation and coming generations at high risk. I have discussed below the
Soil pollution is the contamination of fresh and fertile soil which adversely affects the health of crops, plants, animals, human beings and other organisms living in it. Addition of variety of unwanted substances and toxic chemicals from many sources to the soil in the odd proportion causes whole land pollution. Once the pollutants gets mixed
Greenhouse gases prevent radiation from escaping in to the outer space which results in gradual warming of the temperature of the Earth surface that causes global warming. The equilibrium of the radiation earth receives and the radiation that is reflected back to the space makes the Earth habitable for humans, with average temperature of 15⁰C
Floods occur when excessive rainfall in a particular region results in the overflow of water on the land that is mostly dry. It can also occur due to the overflow of water from water bodies like river, ocean and lake. Floods are known to cause mass destruction. In certain regions, the destruction caused is so
The environment gets polluted when we add harmful substances in it, in the form of solid, liquid or gas. The main types of pollution are – air, water, soil, noise, thermal, nuclear and radiation. Its cause is prolonged and continuous development and human activity to fulfill endless materialistic demands of an ever increasing world population.
Deforestation started centuries back when man stopped relying on hunting to satiate his hunger and took to agriculture. Forests were cleared to make way for agricultural land. However, it did not pose much threat to the environment back then. With time, the need for deforestation has increased manifolds owing to various reasons. The rapid increase
Human activities are the main driver of increasing concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere which is very dangerous as it makes global warming more powerful day by day. Both are hugely related to each other and affecting the natural balance on the earth including life on earth. A huge climate change was observed in
