Passage II
The problem of water pollution is rampant in all thickly populated urban areas. The discharge of untreated industrial water causes water pollution. Next source of air pollution is automobile. In the developing India, the number of automobiles is an important source of air pollution. A large number of vehicles emit three to four per cent of carbon monoxide which is dangerous to health. Marine pollution is yet another problem caused by harbor waste in coastal water. Oil pollution arises from tampering incidents and refinery effluents and oil pipes lines. This results in the destruction of marine life and poses a threat to our ecosystem. Our developing chemical industry is another cause of air and water pollution. A grim tragedy had happened at Union Carbide factory at Bhopal a few years back. The gas which leaked, polluted the environment, nuclear pollution threatens life more than any other pollution today. Nuclear radiation is dangerous to plants, vegetation, animal, water, air and human life.
The release of gases by rockets has an adverse effect. Noise pollution caused by blowing of horns, loud speakers, cassette players and beck sometimes exceeds the human decibel power. This caused tension, hyper-tension, blood pressure and brain diseases. The air and water pollution can cause respiratory ailments, skin diseases, T.B., eye-ailments, cancer and even mental retardation of children, the thin layer of ozone in the atmosphere is a kind of life given system. It cuts out ultraviolet rays and allows the heat producing infrared rays to reach the earth. But owing to industrialisation and consequent pollution, the rate of depletion of the ozone layer is large. Its inability to absorb ultra-violet rays may lead to wide spread incidence of Cancer. Since pollution is a grim threat to human life, some ways and means can be suggested to check it. Our industry should be located in the industrial area far away from the pollution of city people. The automobiles should also be checked so that there should be less exhaust from them. Nuclear plants should be carefully handled to avoid accidents. Chemical industry should be observed strictly and efficiently. Trees also reduce noise transmission. Many experiments prove that trees like neem, banyan and tamarind actually absorb noise.
