Pollution manifests in various forms, including air, water, soil, noise, plastic, light, thermal, electromagnetic, and radioactive pollution, each with distinct sources and health impacts. It is a leading environmental cause of disease and premature death worldwide.
Yes, pollution is one of the leading environmental causes of disease and premature death worldwide. According to research, air pollution in particular is responsible for millions of deaths annually, increasing the risk of respiratory diseases, heart disease, strokes, and lung cancer.
There are also other forms of pollution that significantly impact health: 🔹 Water pollution – Contaminated water causes diseases such as cholera, hepatitis, and heavy metal poisoning. 🔹 Soil pollution – Pesticides and industrial waste can enter the food chain, leading to chronic illnesses. 🔹 Noise pollution – Prolonged exposure to noise can cause stress, sleep disorders, and cardiovascular problems.
According to the Lancet Commission on Pollution and Health report, in 2019, pollution was responsible for approximately 9 million deaths, which is more than the number of deaths caused by war, malaria, and HIV combined.
While I agree with the type of environmental pollution, basic factor responsible for susceptibility is the human immune system - there are a few who are weak and are vulnerable to even the slightest change in weather itself, not even pollution. While dealing with pollution, please consider the nature of pollutants prior to evaluating the impact.. Environmental pollution has already impacted many and with the kind of unexpected changes (recent forest fires) the severity could increase in the next few months and years. Please pay attention even the slighest addition to the already polluted environment for your research to be authentic.
