Urban Pollution

Urban pollution is a bane for urban society or life. All sorts of pollution like air pollution, water pollution, sound pollution, noise pollution, food pollution have been adversely affecting the city dwellers. 
Sources of pollution: The sources or origins of urban pollution are described in short details-


Air pollution: Land vehicles use oil and fuel which create smoke. The smoke gets mixed with air and pollutes air, mills, factories and industries are also held responsible for air pollution because they create smoke. Polluted air contains CO2, CO, NO2, SMP, SO2 and Lead Oxide. Excessive rise of gases and chemical pollute air and leads the urban dwellers to suffer from nausea, suffocation, vomiting etc. The deadly viruses of SARS and Dengue fever are the bitter consequences of pollution. People are to breathe and inhale polluted air in most cases.


Water pollution: In urban areas water comes to happen for mills, factories, sewage from houses and general garbage in the urban areas. When water is drawn below the surface by means of pumps, tube-wells, it remains contaminated. This water remains polluted and poisonous until or unless it is purified. The drinking of this polluted water is detrimental to life and health. The Municipal Corporation also supplies pure water to the urban dwellers.


Food pollution: Most food and snacks ready for sale at the pavement, street corner alongside the road are uncovered and dirty. They are cooked with polluted water. People’s are tempted to eat and tasted them because of their habit and greed. These foods and snakes are not safe for people especially the urban dwellers.

Sound pollution: Sound pollution is very common in the urban areas. The noise of vehicles, mills, factories, industries are really boring and unbearable. This also causes dull of hearing, headache, mental agony, tension, mental imbalance and migraine.
Bad effects: The sources of urban pollution have bad effects on urban life specially the urban dwellers. The urban dwellers live a very measurable life in urban areas. They feel suffocated, breath and inhale polluted air. Sound pollution causes them to suffer from coughs, bronchitis, hoping cough, lunch problem etc.
Remedy: To fight against urban pollution the logical steps can be taken- Vehicles in the
urban areas can under no way be removed but checked regularly by turning their engines after every two month. Petrol driven cars and vehicles should not at all be reduced or removed, if possible measures should be taken to avoid lead oxide. The urban dwellers should grow more and more vegetable to reduce food pollution. The industrialists should shift their mills, factories, industries outside the urban areas to avoid air pollution and sound pollution as well. Manufacturing process always causes pollution and hence it must be avoided in an urban context.


Urban pollution is a menace to the urban dwellers. Now pollution in urban area is ubiquitous. The life in urban areas is not at all comfortable for its all sided pollution's. The city dwellers, the country’s regulatory body, industrialists and businessmen can take an active part in devising the cost effective and long term schemes for controlling urban pollution for the better life of the dwellers.
