environmental pollution

Environmental pollution occurs when harmful substances—such as chemicals, waste, and toxins—are introduced into our natural surroundings, disrupting ecosystems and threatening health. Common sources include industrial processes, vehicle emissions, improper waste disposal, and agriculture. Pollution can contaminate air, water, and soil, leading to problems like respiratory diseases, unsafe drinking water, and damaged wildlife habitats. Addressing pollution requires reducing pollutant release, proper waste management, and adopting sustainable practices to protect the planet’s health and ensure a cleaner environment for future generations.
