Unsustainable industrial development, irresponsible production activities, excessive use of fossil fuels, and limited environmental awareness among some people are the main causes of the serious environmental pollution we see today.

Impacts of Environmental Pollution

Environmental pollution has far-reaching consequences, directly impacting human health, causing respiratory diseases, cancer, etc. It also reduces biodiversity, destroys ecosystems, and causes extreme weather events such as floods, droughts, and storms. Climate change threatens food security, water resources, and the survival of many species.
