The Current State of Environmental Pollution

Our planet, our common home, is facing serious environmental challenges. Air, water, and soil pollution are increasing, causing devastating consequences for human health and ecosystems. Climate change, with extreme weather events such as storms, floods, and droughts, is becoming more frequent and intense. Natural resources are being depleted, threatening the survival of many plant and animal species.

Causes of Environmental Pollution

Rapid and uncontrolled industrial development has released large amounts of toxic waste into the environment. The excessive use of fossil fuels contributes to the greenhouse effect and climate change. Deforestation and illegal hunting disrupt ecological balance. Unconscious consumer habits are also a significant cause of environmental pollution.

Impact of Environmental Pollution

Environmental pollution causes serious harm, directly affecting human health, causing respiratory diseases, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, etc. Ecosystems are disrupted, biodiversity is declining. Agricultural productivity is reduced, water sources are polluted, affecting people’s lives. Climate change causes natural disasters, causing loss of life and property.
