cost of this progress in shape of pollution . Man has upset the balance between
living things and their surroundings. Pollution is like a burning mountain that
can cause every loss to the living souls on the holy earth . It is a constant
threat to mankind and the entire civilization .
Pollution means ‘contamination of the
purity of things’ . It has become a grave problem which is destroying the
purity of the air, the seas and the land . The main causes of pollution are the
continuous industrial development the excessive use of automobiles and the
population explosion . The wastes have been so great in amount that the
capability of nature to dispose of wastes has become unable to purify the
environment . This problem has assumed alarming proportion . Our rivers, Seas,
land and air have become polluted .
Atmospheric pollution is the result of
emissions of carbon mono – oxide, sulphur oxides and hydrocarbons . Factories are
sending huge quantities of poisonous gases into atmosphere . Thousands of cars,
buses and airplanes are pouring deadly poisons into our atmosphere . This severe
situation he is a serious threat to the life of living species . Several people
are suffering from various diseases that could threaten their very lives . Most
of the industrial centres in Pakistan e.g. Karachi, Lahore, Faisalabad, Multan,
Gujranwala are suffering from pollution one way or the other .
The discharge of the poisonous gases is
damaging the Ozone layer which protects us from the harmful rays of the sun . This
may result in diseases and also cause an increase in the atmospheric
temperature .
Human excrement, industrial discharges,
nuclear wastes, Hospital waste and agricultural pesticides are the major water
pollution . The poisonous materials pollute nearby Wells, canals, and rivers.
Noise pollution is another severe threat
to human health . The constant noise of the factories disturbs our mental peace
all the time . The workers are suffering from several psychological diseases
because of the noise pollution of machines . The noise of rickshaws and other
vehicles shatter our nerves .

survival of human beings, animals and vegetation . It is causing numerous human
health problems such as cancer, weak eyesight, respiratory ailments, headaches
