Air Pollution

Air pollution is actually the addition of any harmful substances [পদার্থ] to the atmosphere [বায়ুমণ্ডল], which causes damage of the environment [পরিবেশ], human health and the quality of life. Air is the most important element [উপাদান] of human environment. Man cannot live without it but we do not think it is we, who pollute this most vital [অত্যাবশ্যক] element. Clean air is essential [অপরিহার্য] for life. Air is polluted in many ways. With the development [উন্নয়ন] in industry, came along the increase in air pollution, which occurs inside homes, schools, offices even in the countryside [গ্রামাঞ্চল]. Man makes fires to cook his food, to make bricks burns effuse [নি:সরণ করা], melts [গলা] pitch for road construction and burns wood. All these things produce [উত্পাদন] heavy smoke and this smoke pollutes air. Railway engines, power houses, mills and factories use coal and oil. Buses, trucks and cars use petrol and diesel oil. Again all these things create smoke and cause air pollution. The most serious air pollution occurs in big industrial areas where there are many mills and cars plying [চলাচল] the street every day. Sometimes, men in industrial area become so sick by inhaling [নিশ্বাস ভেতরে] polluted air that they cannot be cured [নিরাময়]. So, proper measures and steps should be taken to prevent [প্রতিরোধ] air pollution. Consequently [এর ফলে], there has been an increase in the death rates resulting from various diseases caused by air pollution varying from breathing problem to lung cancer. Air pollution does not only affect people but it also damages the whole ecological [পরিবেশগত] system in which plants and animals are harmed as well.
