Solution
- Environmental pollution is mainly caused by human activities. Air, water, soil, noise, radiation, thermal, light, and plastic pollution are some major types of pollution.
- These types of pollution adversely affect the environment and threaten the survival of living organisms.
- Pollution should be controlled to maintain a healthy environment. For example, improper disposal of plastic causes land pollution, blocks drainage systems, and harms animals that may ingest it. Plastic pollution can be reduced through proper waste management, recycling, and the reuse of plastic materials.
- Similarly, reducing all forms of pollution helps restore environmental health and maintain ecological balance.
