balanced manner. Environment of the earth has been made conducive for all
living beings. It is human greed, which has disturbed natural balance. Today,
the world is facing various environmental issues. Anthropogenic activities are
deteriorating the world ecosystem. Various species of both plants and animals
have already vanished from the planet. A number of them are included in the
list of endangered species. Environmental pollution occurs when pollutants are
released into natural environment. It results in human illness and other
environmental disasters. People have become prisoners of their own creation.

are various types of pollution. Out of all air pollution is the most dangerous
one. It occurs when harmful gases, smoke and dust are introduced into
atmosphere. Burning of fossil fuels, agriculture activities, emissions from
industries, and factories and vehicles are the major contributors of air
pollution.
Water

activities are polluting this natural resource. Industrial effluents,
fertilizers, pesticides, sewage water, animal wastes, radioactive wastes, oil
leakages, chemical and solid waste dumping are the major factors which are
polluting it to a large extent. The polluted water effecting health of people.
It effects plants and animals too.
