Q) How does your family contribute to the pollution of the environment?? Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into the natural environment that cause adverse change.[1] 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. Pollution is often classed as point source or nonpoint source pollution. Pollution comes from both natural and human-made (anthropogenic) sources. However, globally human-made pollutants from combustion, construction, mining, agriculture and warfare are increasingly significant in the air pollution equation. Individuals cause pollution in their own ways. Like we every drop count, every individual has their contribution into the environmental pollution. Burning of plastics,deforestation, contamination of soil by dumping of waste even in households contribute to pollution. Smoking also causes air pollution, contaminating water sources , paving house frontage with tiles etc are the common errors which happen in the household. Frying chicken at the stove, spraying ants with insecticide, taking a hot shower, plugging in a room freshener, or sudsing the rug with detergent also causes pollution.
Many common items found around our homes can reduce our air quality. While some sources, like oven cleaner, are obvious, others aren't.
