Challenges Of Environmental Pollution

1264 Words6 Pages

RECENT ENVIRONMENT CONSERVATION INITIATIVES TAKEN BY CPCB:

The Environmental concerns and challenges have changed over the years requiring a paradigm shift in strategies for pollution abatement and control. Economic development has hastened industrialization, thereby, putting additional burden on resources including water, fuel and raw material and environment. The present challenges include conservation of resources, managing the ever growing solid waste, ensuring treatment of domestic and industrial wastewater, maintaining river water quality, using IT as a compliance tool, etc.

Significant steps towards prevention and control of environmental pollution have been taken in the past. However, in order to meet the growing challenges, Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) has embarked upon a number of new initiatives such as –
• CPCB launched Air Quality Index which is a tool for effective communication of air quality status to people. Presently, AQI of 30 cities is disseminated on CPCB website.
• CPCB has prepared segmental action plan for restoration of water quality of River Ganga. The rejuvenation plan aims to stop the discharge of untreated sewage and waste water from 118 towns along river Ganga.
• CPCB has initiated online monitoring of industrial emissions/ discharges which is a significant step towards self-regulation in 17 categories of highly polluting industries apart from industries discharging their effluent into river Ganga or its tributaries.

The huge increase in size of the human population have resulted in a substantial degradation of environmental conditions (Birdsall, N., 2003). Water Pollution. According to the Population Institute, one of the consequences of overpopulation is the pressure that is put on available water resources in order to serve a growing population. Approximately 50% of the worlds’ population will be living in regions around the globe that are considered “water stressed”, either due to lack of it, or poor quality, by the year 2030 (compared to 15% currently).

As shown in Figure , from 2001 to 2010, the water stress has increased overall due to the increased amount of industries, leading to higher water pollution. Now, several major rivers have changed colour and some parts are too contaminated for human

    INTRO: Air pollution is a worldwide human health risk that affects people of all social classes. The most polluted cities can be found in developed countries such as the United States, China, and the UK.

Houston, Texas is one of the largest cities in the United States and, unfortunately, the quality of their atmosphere reflects the city’s expansive area, many shipping ports, chemical plants, and high traffic.

    Due to the river being connected to many other rivers and lakes, the contaminated water travels downstream and contaminates the water in the other water sources. This is ongoing and makes it harder for the treatment of the water. Propose one possible rehabilitation technique. A rehabilitation technique that could be put in place at this water source would be to enforce harsher penalties for polluting the water and educating the public on the consequences of the pollution.

  • Persuasive Essay On Drivers Testing

    708 Words  | 3 Pages

    The emissions laws are so messed up that even the way cars are tested has problems. Emissions tests are performed by attaching a hose of sorts to the tailpipe, putting a specified amount of fuel into the vehicle and drive the vehicle on a machine to find how much carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons are coming out of the tailpipe. The problem with this is that, while it helps lower the amount of harmful gases released per gallon of fuel, it takes more fuel to go a certain distance with an emissions ‘reducing’ system on the vehicle and that is not accounted for and only a few substances are tested for. As the article “ASM Smog Check Results” explains “Carbon Dioxide and Oxygen are measured too. These discharges do not have any bearing on whether your vehicle passes or fails a smog check.”

    Several efforts have been made over recent years to maintain a safe and clean environment. However, environmental pollution is getting worst and poses a major threat to the Earth. Environmental pollution is “the contamination of the physical and biological components of the Earth to such an extent that normal environmental processes are adversely affected” (Kemp, 1998, p. 129). There are five known pollution which is in the form of air, water, land, noise and light (refer to Figure 1 in Appendix 1).

    Among the utmost crucial environmental issues is human overpopulation, mutely exacerbating the intensities that are behind environmental pollution, global warming habitat loss, rigorous farming habits. Depletion of limited natural resources for example fossil fuels, fresh water, and cultivable land, at a velocity that is much faster than the time it takes for them to restore. Even so, environmental issues are merely the beginning. Lower life expectancy in the fastest developing countries will experience a deprivation of their quality also length of life as they continue to increase population facing difficulties to resource food, water, housing, jobs, and energy to their growing inhabitants. That will eventually lead to major consequences for economic growth, a reduced access to medical care leading to poor health.

  • Pollution Essay: The Effects Of Climate Change Toward The Environment

    One of the greatest issues that we face towards the environment has been an increasingly difficult problem over the last few years. Earths climate is changing at rapid paces and solutions are needed as quickly as possible to replenish natural ecosystems and cultures that depend on the environment. Climate change not only affects the animals in our ecosystem, but us humans as well. With the human population increasing every year, climate change is only getting worse. Many argue that the effects of climate change towards the environment are due to other extraneous factors, however, I myself am a strong believer that the problems such as rising sea levels, warmer temperatures and natural disasters are all due to both natural causes and human activity.
