Lists Of Environmental Problems

In talking about nature and environment related issues, the foremost question that comes to my mind is how’s our environment today? What is the list of environmental problems that it encounters? Have you ever pondered over the fact that it is not just the foliage and fauna but also the air you breathe, water you drink, things you touch and perceive and even the food you eat that constitutes your environment!

You are encased by environment everywhere and anywhere. So why do we damage and pollute it? For instance factories produce and introduce many toxic compounds in the environment that are hazardous for the entire mankind. Why don’t we just help the environment by recycling? Here are the problems that we might encounter if we don’t act now and treat our environment fair.

1. The harmful pollutants like carbon monoxide constantly pollute the air around us. Carbon monoxide is a poisonous compound, excess inhaling of which can be unexpectedly detrimental. Studies have revealed that CO enters into our bloodstream and causes breathing disorders and even cardiac arrest.

2. When we talk about pollution, noise pollution is also quite disturbing and annoying. A surge in the noise pollution level due to the escalating traffic, industries and factories leads to hazards like insomnia and lack of concentration.

3. The sun that enlightens the whole world can even be damaging at times. The excess of sun’s heat and ultraviolet rays that creep into the earth’s atmosphere due to the exhaustion of protective ozone layer, cause many dermal disorders amongst individuals.

4. The radiations that are released in the atmosphere due to nuclear reactions, nuclear tests, mobile phones, computers and the like are also a source of danger.

5. The enhancement of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has resulted in global warming which has turned out to be a massive threat to life on earth. Planting more trees and plants that enrich the air with oxygen can prevent global warming.

We must take care of our environment if we want it to take care of us, if not, the environment will be our own rival. We must start to act now and do simple things. Like conserving electricity in the house and using alternative fuels for our cars. If we start to ourselves, then everyone else will follow.
