Assessment (02)
Q.1) Read the following paragraph about ‘The causes of pollution and the possible
solutions’ and tabulate the same information.
Pollution is the contamination into the natural environment that causes
adverse change. Pollution levels are increasing day by day. There are various
reasons for it. Air pollution is caused chiefly by industrial pollutants and by
increased levels of RSPM due to higher flow of vehicular traffic. Water pollution
is caused to a large extent by industrial effluents and the immersion of POP
idols. Sound pollution levels have increased due to blaring loudspeakers during
festival time and increased volume of traffic.
In order to solve the problems of air pollution, the chief method seems to
be tree plantation. More and more citizens and NGO’s should take up green
causes with civic authorities. We need to protect our forest and conserve our
mangroves. In order to solve the problem of water pollution, we need to develop
effective waste management techniques. Also eco-friendly idols should be used
during festival time. An awareness by the general populace is very necessary to
solve the problem of sound pollution. Strict enforcement of decibel levels during
occasions and festival time by the police is a must.
