Our earth is a paradise if we live on it in a sensible way; otherwise it is the other name of hell. Unfortunately, at present, man is misusing the resources of the earth which can spell doom for his own existence. Air, soil, water and space all are getting polluted. Air pollution is taking place because of mindless felling down of trees and poisonous emissions from chimneys of factories and automobiles. Excessive use of insecticides and pesticides is causing soil pollution. Poisonous elements are finding their way into the food that we consume.
Quite another type of pollution is noise pollution. It is caused by loud-speakers, factory buzzers, vehicular horns, high pitch of TV sets and radios and noises in streets and markets. Noise pollution can cause great injury to our delicate nerves. In fact, all kinds of pollution are harmful to man in more than one ways.
It is high time that we give attention to the hazards of pollution of all kinds. Otherwise, there may be not only widespread epidemics, but man’s very existence on this planet may be in danger.
