The world pollute means to destroy the purity of things. To make everything dirty. Pollution, today, has become a grave problem which is destroying the purity of the air, the seas and the land, threatens the survival of living things.
Man is a social animal and he has to fit into the society. There should be a balanced relationship between him and his environment. He is dependent upon other forms of life, upon corn and upon animal flesh and must learn to respect nature and the earth.
Pollution is the result of reckless science and violent technology. It is more visible in its various forms in the advanced societies of the West. It can be seen in the indiscriminate cultivation of land, the destruction of forests and in the extermination of active species. The massive use of pesticide and herbicides is poisoning the ecosystem of the earth. Industrial wastes and automotive emission represent a major and perhaps lasting hazard to life.
Atmospheric pollution as a result of emissions of carbon monoxide, sulphur oxides and hydrocarbons has become the subject of growing concern and has led to increasing pressure for restrictions on the burning of fossil fuels. It is estimated that currently more than 20 million tons of carbon dioxide are being released in the atmosphere in this way every year. The discharge of these air pollutants is infecting river, lakes and oceans.
Concern for the environment is no longer confined to western man.
With the widespread use of technology, the evils of the industrial system with its emphasis on mass production and the profit motive, have begun to manifest themselves in the countries of the Third World as well. In this sense the whole world is now is process of westernization. The difference is only that of degree.
The world "pollution- has entered the vocabulary of the developing countries and people are paying more attention to its causes and consequences.
Pakistan has high rate of population growth. More mouths to feed compel increase in production and result in more and more industrialization. All the factories give off smoke and gases as part of their normal operation and have a harmful effect on the health of the people living in the surroundings.
Very often these chemical poisons are carried for miles in the air and pollute the atmosphere. The Taj Mahal at Agra is already suffering the ugly effect of the fumes emanating from the industrial complex in its vicinity. When buildings have bad effects of pollution. what will become of human beings.
If pollution is not checked, the sold and liquid wastes discharged in the rivers and canals would endanger marine, animal and human life. This factor is of grave concern because Pakistan depends on its waterways for the fulfilment of so many of its needs. .
The confused roaring of vehicular traffic preys upon the nerves and robs the citizen of his basic right to rest and peace. Auto rickshaws, buses and truckss leaving dark trails of carbon monoxide
are a common sight in the big cities of the country. Unfortunately, we have no noise abatement society or agency to curb such pollution.
The problem of pollution and other environmental hazards vex the minds of thoughtful people. Time is ripe for the formulation of a new morality which would readjust our distorted notions about technology and industrialism. Man must establish and maintain a beneficial relationship with the rest of nature. All activities which pollute the earth or waste its resources must be curtailed. If we fail to accept a new morality, we are doomed to frustration.
