Different types of environmental pollution seem to be affecting an increasing number of people in the world. What do you think are the causes of this problem and what solutions would you suggest?

The

Environment

is a precious element for survival on earth which should be preserved with the utmost care, as its harm will impact mankind in many ways. Different types of

pollution

are on the

rise

due to

the use of a variety of technologies and the modernization of living standards.

This

increase in

pollution

is having an adverse impact on the masses because of a number of reasons. These reasons and their solution are discussed in the following paragraphs. Air

pollution

is one of the major areas where

pollution

is on the

rise

due to

the development of new industries. These industries emit harmful

gases

to the

environment

, thereby causing respiratory issues among the people living nearby these factories.

For example

, people living near San Francisco's industrial area report much more asthma-related issues than the rest of the city. Not only the general public

but the factory workers

also

get affected by these

gases

. Another aspect, which is affecting the entire

environment

's temperature is the emission of greenhouse

gases

by various appliances. For

this

, the entire human race is responsible. Air conditioners and refrigerator usage is rising at an alarming rate, which

further

is contributing to the

environment

's temperature hike by releasing chlorofluorocarbons into the atmosphere. The

pollution

is increasing at an alarming rate and steps should be taken to put a control on its

rise

. The first step that can be taken by the government is to bring out

environment

-friendly policies for industrial setup.

For example

, the government should enforce strict measures to implement filtering of harmful

gases

in industries itself and reuse them in some or the other industrial process,

instead

of releasing them into the atmosphere.

Secondly

, we ourselves should try to build sustainable houses where air conditioning and refrigerators use can be limited. The concept of sustainable or green homes is on the

rise

these days.

For instance

, in Bangalore, nearly 20% of the new houses built are greenhouses and the trend is on the

rise

. In conclusion, there are a lot of reasons because of why environmental

pollution

is increasing and steps should be taken to cater for these. It is not only the government that can help, but we as individuals should

also

do our part in saving the

environment

, because it will help our younger generation in future.
