Ways to Control Pollution

Pollution is something which makes our environment unclean, dirty or harmful to us. These days it is also a very big problem. It is broadly divided into 4 parts that are: -

Water pollution- It is the addition of harmful substances like oil, chemicals, etc, in clean and natural water bodies. Humans are its main cause because of us, and the industrial waste, household waste, oil leakages, etc, the chemicals make the water unfit for several tasks.

Soil or land pollution- Due to the use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, etc, over the years, these chemicals pollute the soil whereas, on the land, the garbage is the main cause of pollution.
