Pollution: Addressing Global Environmental Challenges, Impact on Health and Biodiversity

Pollution remains one of the most pressing environmental issues worldwide, affecting air, water, and soil quality. Industrial emissions, agricultural runoff, waste disposal, and vehicle exhaust are primary contributors to pollution, resulting in harmful consequences for ecosystems and human health. Air pollution, for example, contributes to respiratory diseases, while water pollution harms aquatic life and disrupts ecosystems. The global decline in biodiversity is directly linked to habitat destruction caused by pollution, with species facing extinction due to the contamination of their environments. Governments, businesses, and individuals must collaborate to adopt cleaner technologies, reduce waste, and implement sustainable practices to combat pollution.
