- the surrounding or condition in which a person, animal or plant lives or operates.

-   the natural world, as a whole or in a particular geographical area, especially as affected by human activity.

Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into the natural environment that cause adverse change. Pollution can take the form of chemical substances or energy, such as noise, heat or light. Pollutants, the components of pollution, can be either foreign substances/energies or naturally occurring contaminants.

Noise pollution This era has rightly been called as the era of noise. Because

heavy industrialization we are exposed to a high level of noise all around us. Noise has become a very important stress factor in modern life. it leads many health hazards. Some of the sources of noise pollution are aircraft, automobiles,factories,loudspeakers & pop & Rock-n-Roll music in clubs

. Noise produces following health problems- 1)Auditory fatigue 2)Deafness or impaired vision 3)Rise in blood pressure, pulse rate 4)Headache 5)Nausea 6)Disturbed sleep 7)Emotional disturbances

What can we do?1)  Using smokeless sources of energy like biogas, solar etc.2)  Using devices for filtering smoke in chimneys of factories.3) Planting more trees (afforestation and reforestation)4) Recycling-various products instead of dumping them into rivers, e.g., biogas can be made from city waste.

5) Avoiding polythene bags.

ConclusionWe know that certain environmental conditions like air, water,& food are essential for man’s survival. Apart from their availability their quality & quantity must be assured according to man's natural & acquired capacity for sustenance progress in industrialization has brought environmental hazards such as air water & noise pollution. These have caused many health problems & diseases. As it has been said- we do not inherit the environment from our forefathers,we borrow it from future generation. Stockholm conference of 1972 proclaims that: The protection & improvement of human environment is a major issue which affects the well being of people & economic development throughout the world & it is duty of all governments & people to common efforts for the preservation & improvement of environment for the benefit of all people & their prosperity.

This year’s theme for World Environment Day – Go Wild for Life – encourages you to celebrate all those species under threat and take action of your own to help safeguard them for future generations. This can be about animals or plants that are threatened within your local area as well as at the national or global level - many local extinctions will eventually add up to a global extinction! Whoever you are, and wherever you live, show zero-tolerance for the illegal trade in wildlife in word and deed, and make a difference.

This can be about animals or plants that are threatened within your local area as well as at the national or global level - many local extinctions will eventually add up to a global extinction! Whoever you are, and wherever you live, show zero-tolerance for the illegal trade in wildlife in word and deed, and make a difference.
