The Current State of Environmental Pollution

Our planet, our common home, is facing serious environmental challenges. Air, water, and soil pollution are increasing, causing devastating consequences for human health and ecosystems. Climate change, with extreme weather events such as storms, floods, and droughts, threatens the lives of millions worldwide.

Causes of Environmental Pollution

Unsustainable industrial development, excessive use of fossil fuels, deforestation, and rampant plastic waste are the main causes of increasingly severe environmental pollution. Lack of awareness among individuals also significantly contributes to this problem.

Harmful Effects of Environmental Pollution

Environmental pollution has many serious harmful effects, directly impacting human health, causing respiratory illnesses, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer. Furthermore, environmental pollution reduces biodiversity, disrupts ecosystems, and affects agricultural production and the national economy.
