Global warming due to severe environmental pollution is currently the most disastrous issue according to the document. It argues that prevention of pollution through various programs like planting trees, green initiatives, and avoiding pollution-causing activities is essential to ensure safety. The different types of pollution discussed are air, water, noise, radioactive, thermal, and light pollution. Their causes and some prevention methods are also highlighted.
2. SYNOPSIS
THE MOST DISASTROUS AFFAIR ALARMING
CURRENTLY IS “GLOBAL WARMING” DUE TO
SEVERE ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION.
“PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE ’’
SHOULD BE THE ONLY SLOGAN AND SHOULD
CREATE AWARNESS IN EACH INDUSTRIALIST’S
MIND OVER THE WORLD .
IMPLEMENTATION OF PROGRAMMES,
PLANTING OF NEW TREES IN LAKHS, FOCUSSING
ON GREEN REVOLUTIONARY SCHEMES ARE
ESSENTIAL. USE WEAPONS FOR
CONSTRUCTION AND AVOID USING FOR
DESTRUCTION.
POLLUTION LEADS TO TRAGEDY.
PREVENTION LEADS TO SAFETY.

4. Introduction
Pollution, contamination of Earth’s environment
with materials that interfere with human health,
The quality of life, or the natural functioning of
ecosystems (living organisms and their physical
surroundings). Although some environmental
pollution is a result of natural causes such as
volcanic eruptions, most is caused by human activities.
There are two main categories of polluting materials, or pollutants.
Biodegradable pollutants are materials, such as sewage, that
rapidly decompose by natural processes. These pollutants
become a problem when added to the environment faster than
they can decompose (see Sewage Disposal). Non bio-degradable
pollutants are materials that either do not decompose or
decompose slowly in the natural environment. Once
contamination occurs, it is difficult or impossible to remove these
pollutants from the environment.

10. SOURCES
Smoke from factories
Exhaust fumes from
motor vehicles like cars, buses,
trucks, two-wheelers
Power stations & Fertilizer factories
Waste gases from factories &
houses
Smoking
11. PREVENTION
Using Battery operated Vehicles
Set up Emission control plants
Use pollution control equipment
in industries
Keep motor vehicles in good condition to
reduce fumes
Use bicycles, public transport or electrical
vehicles
whenever possible.

13. SOURCES
Waste from factories
Man-made chemicals used in
farming
Industrial and household waste
Throwing rubbish into rivers,
tanks and on beaches.
14. PREVENTION
Don’t allow waste water and chemicals to flow
into rivers and wells
Keep beaches and water
sources clean
Set up Effluent treatment Plants
STOP throwing things away
17. PREVENTION
Reduce the use of
loudspeakers
in public places and residential
areas
Use horns in vehicles sparingly
Avoid bursting loud fire crackers
especially where there are aged
people and small children
22. SOURCES
Power plants creating electricity from fossil fuels
Water as a cooling agent in industrial facilities
Deforestation of the shoreline
Soil erosion
25. PREVENTION
Utilizing light sources of minimum
intensity is necessary to accomplish
the light's purpose. Turning lights off using a
timer or occupancy sensor or manually when
not needed.
Improving lighting fixtures, so that they direct
their light more accurately towards where it is
needed, and with less side effects.
Adjusting the type of lights used, so that the
light waves emitted are those that are less likely
to cause severe light pollution problems.
