INTRODUCTION:
AN ASSIGNMENT WAS GIVEN
TO US TO VISIT A LOCAL
POLLUTION SITE.
OBJECTIVES :
1. TO DO A DETAILED STUDY OF
THE SITE
2. TO ANALISE ALL THE
HARMFULL EFFECTS ON THE
ENVIROMENT.
POLLUTION IN INDIA
Mumbai is the second most
polluted metro and Chennai a
much safer fourth. Delhi ranks
third while among all areas of the
country, Vadodara is the safest
city to live in India today's times.
According to the researcher,
results were alarming for a
country like India as its pollution
levels were high compared to
other tropical Asian countries.
There are
manyenvironmental issues
in India.AIR pollution,water
pollution, garbage, and pollution
of the natural environment are
all challenges for India. The
situation was worse between
1947 through 1995.
POPs are organic compounds
that are resistant to
environmental degradation
through chemical, biological,
and photolytic processes.

Population growth,
because
it
can
place
increased pressure on the
assimilative capacity of the
environment, is also seen
as a major cause of air,
water,
and
solid-waste
pollution.
The result, Malthus
theorized, is an equilibrium
population that enjoys low
levels of both income and
environmental
quality.
Malthus suggested positive
and preventative forced

Water pollution
India has majorwater
pollution issues.
Discharge of untreated
sewage is the single most
important cause for
pollution of surface and
ground water in India.
here is a large gap
between generation and
treatment of domestic
waste water in India. The
problem is not only that
India lacks sufficient
treatment capacity
According to a World
Health Organization
study,out of India's 3,119
towns and cities, just 209
have partial sewage
treatment facilities, and
only 8 have full
wastewater treatment
facilities.
Over 100 Indian cities
dump untreatedsewage
directly into theGanges
River.Investment is
needed to bridge the gap
between 29000 million
liter per day of sewage
Air pollution
Air pollution in India is a
serious issue with the
major sources being fuel
wood
and
biomass
burning,
fuel
adulteration,
vehicle
emission
and
traffic
congestion.
Air pollution is also the
main cause of theAsian
brown cloud, which is
causing themonsoonto
be delayed. India is the
world's largest consumer
of fuel wood, agricultural
However,
the
2012Environmental
Performance
Indexranked
India as having the poorest
relative air quality out of 132
countries.
Solid waste
pollution
Municipalities in Indian
cities and towns have
waste
collection
employees.
However,
these
are
unionized
government workers and
their work performance is
neither
measured
nor
monitored.
Some of the few solid
waste landfills India has,
near its major cities, are
overflowing
and
poorly
managed.
They
have
become significant sources
of greenhouse emissions
