Causes and Consequences of Environmental Pollution: A Study

Abstract

The atmosphere, water, land, other environmental components, and the ecosystem are all harmed by man. The environmental degradation and pollution caused by humans are so severe that the nightmare that lies ahead will tremble us all. When looking at the whole situation, a few trends are evident. Both locally and globally, our atmosphere is severely contaminated. In the northern hemisphere's densely populated regions, the protective ozone layer is decreasing twice as quickly as scientists previously believed. Global warming will soon result from the accumulation of greenhouse gases, which will cause major changes in weather patterns. Catastrophic outcomes like the emergence of tropical and cancerous diseases, disruption of the ocean's food chain, rising sea levels, submersion of numerous islands, melting of small land-based glaciers, flooding in numerous low-lying coastal areas, and harvest loss are all possible due to the destruction of the ozone layer and the continued warming of the earth's surface.
