The causes of environmental pollution are referred to by scientists or society as "pollution" by any harmful difference in the natural environment, in many forms and types, often the main cause of these multiple types of pollution. The different types of environmental pollution are due to the presence of many different sources and causes, and conservation activists are trying to minimize the causes of environmental pollution as much as possible in order to reduce the magnitude of this pollution and its direct and indirect impact on humans in particular and biodiversity in general. :
The types of environmental pollution to know the causes of environmental pollution should first know the different types of pollution, and then know the causes of each species. These types are:
Air pollution because air pollution directly affects all living organisms, and because air is the main source of continuity of life on the planet, its pollution is the most serious of all other types of pollution. The air has precise proportions of each type of gas, and in the case of air pollution, the air becomes loaded with gases with an abnormal concentration that makes it a threat to the health of organisms, especially humans.Pollution of water with organic compounds from plant residues or spraying of pesticides and leakage into groundwater or surface surrounding farms, making water toxic and sometimes deadly, and may lead to cancer in the future. Contamination with solid waste thrown into the sea or rivers by man and the sea cannot be disposed of. This type of pollution is due to the high level of human activity around water sources without taking into account the conservation of water bodies.Marine life is affected by many solid wastes, which lead to the death of many organisms dealing with plastic waste thrown into the water by humans. Pollution with microorganisms, which often occur in areas of poverty with high pollution as a result of human use of stagnant swamps for washing, defecation and livestock watering. Such practices lead to the spread of serious diseases such as cholera, typhoid and fever. Radioactive contamination occurs from water from its use in the cooling processes of nuclear reactors, or atomic dust formed after nuclear explosions.Soil pollution means destroying the soil or rendering it unfit for agriculture, often because of humans with direct and indirect activities. The major industrialized countries are more polluted than developing countries, but developing countries are on the path of the major industrialized countries themselves; for example, Britain's soil contaminated with arsenic and lead is 30,000 hectares. The damage is most to humans as a result of eating developing crops in soil contaminated with toxic elements. The causes of soil pollution include desertification, i.e. building abuse or neglect on agricultural land, liquid and solid industrial pollutants, which are always in huge quantities, forest and tree cutting, climate change and acid rain all leading to loss of soil fertility. Of course, negative practices of farmers, such as excessive use of pesticides and soil exhaustion by ill-considered and rapid cultivation, cannot be overlooked.Ways to protect the environment from pollution is always the best solution to protect the environment is to stop the causes of environmental pollution, and then start rehabilitating this environment affected by destructive human activities. A very effective way to protect the environment from pollution is to plant trees, which is how both air and soil are protected; through afforestation, co2 in the atmosphere can be reduced and oxygen increased.Trees can also rehabilitate and restore fertility and cohesion to eroded soils. Trees reduce desertification and soil erosion, and trees resettle many environmentally beneficial organisms.Recycling solid waste and plant waste, benefiting groundwater, protecting it from leakage of waste juicer when landfilled, and protecting surface water from solid human waste dumped everywhere. Recycling also protects the environment from rudimentary processes used by humans to dispose of waste such as landfilling and incineration, which pollute air, water and soil on a daily basis.Shift towards renewable energy, becoming more dependent on sun and wind energy instead of gasoline and various petroleum derivatives, reducing carbon dioxide emissions in the atmosphere. This shift occurred earlier when humans got rid of trains that were running on coal, which was a major polluter of the environment.Strict environmental laws to protect trees from cutting, tightening control over factory owners, forcing them to use renewable energy and recycling and not disposing of their waste in the environment, and establishing laws that allow and facilitate recycling projects and encourage citizens to install renewable energy generators.
