Pollution From The Beginning Of The 18th Century

From the Beginning of the industrial revolution in the 18th century pollution becomes more noticeable phenomenon. Innovative technological advance encouraged by super productivity of capitalist business practices (division of labor – cheaper production costs – overproduction – overconsumption – over pollution) had most likely turned out to be one of the primary drivers of genuine deterioration of natural resources of the environment. Virtually, all human activities generate pollution which adversely affects the environment. [1] Environmental pollution is a problem both in developed and developing countries. Rapid population growth and urbanization are the major factors of pollution, due to which natural resources are consumed to the maximum

Dispersion spreads the pollutants out as a result of the fluid movement as a smoke plume spreads while being blown downward if there is no advection there is no dispersion. The sources by which the pollution is generated are point sources of pollution and non-point sources of pollution. Point source of pollution is from where pollution is discharged from single identifiable source, when the pollutants are discharged directly from the wastewater treatment plants or from industries directly into the streams. [18] Whereas, Non-point source pollution does not come from a specific source. Instead, it originates from many places, or from a widespread area. Every one contributes to non-point source pollution when people improperly use or dispose of fertilizers, pesticides, oils, grease, pet or animal wastes, and trash. As rain flows over campus roads, sidewalks and lawns, it can pick up debris, chemicals, dirt, and other pollutants in its path. This storm water is not cleaned before it reaches campus creeks and lakes that connect to groundwater reservoirs.

Fossil fuels are also widely used in the power-generating industry, they are present in products such as all sorts of plastics, solvents, detergents, asphalt, lubricating oils, a wide range of chemicals for industrial use. Ignition of fossil fuels produces high elevated amounts of air pollution. Some of the most notable air pollutants are carbon monoxide (CO), ozone (O3), sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2). They are also known as greenhouse gases that remain up in the stratosphere and are the reason for the Global rise in temperature. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and airborne particles, with radioactive pollutants are the most destructive ones (specifically when produced by nuclear explosions). Air pollution can cause different types of diseases such as respiratory disease, allergies, bronchitis, asthma, coughing and wheezing. When these gases goes up in the atmosphere forms secondary pollutants and falls down on earth as precipitation which destroys the productive land and is very harmful for the plants causes chlorosis and necrosis. Indoor air pollution is equally hazardous. Among the more essential indoor contaminants involved with wellbeing or aggravation impacts are uninvolved tobacco smoke, radon rot items, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, formaldehyde, asbestos filaments, microorganisms, and
