how does the environment polluted?

Answer 1

How does the sentence unstructured? Same kind of ignorance.

Answer 2

How does the environment get polluted? Or, How does the environment pollute itself? I'm really not clear on what you're trying to ask. If it's the latter, think about all of the sulfur and gases that are emitted by a volcano. Or, consider the waste after the tsunami hit Christmas day a few years ago... For us here on the gulf coast, it's what happens after a hurricane blows through. Pollution.

Answer 3

The environment gets polluted by the greed of man. Manufacturing, farming, any process has a waste or byproduct and the disposing of this product causes pollution

Answer 4

How does the environment get polluted???? well it is from the cars and the fossil fuel we are burning for electricity, the extra co2 released causes a "blanket" around the earth and traps in heat and causes all types of problems.... check out www.nrdc/globalwarming/default.asp

Answer 5

It's simple, by the actions made by the stupid mankind, the environment is getting polluted.

Answer 6

environment is polluted by noise, air, plastics, unrecycle things, and many more things but the main pollution is created by us as we are not aware of the facts and we are not participating to unpollute things

Answer 7

environment gets polluted when we dont know how to used it in a proper way such as excessive used of resources in particular place left land barren..

Answer 8

With the development, the urban areas are growing into bigger agglomerations with ever increasing influx of people which in turn create demand for support services viz. water supply, transportation, drainage/sewerage, garbage collection and disposal etc. that are essential is far exceeding the supply of these services. While taking up developmental activities, the assimilative capacities of the environmental components i.e., air, water land to various pollution are rarely considered. Also, lack of proper land use control is resulting in poor land use compatibility. The developmental activities being haphazard and uncontrolled are leading to over use, congestion, incompatible landuse and poor living conditions. Thus the problems of environmental pollution in urban areas are becoming complex and are creating high risk environment to the city residents in the form of deterioration of the natural and socio-economic living conditions which specifically includes overcrowding, congestion, lack of sufficient water supply, unhygienic living conditions, air and noise pollution etc.

In the process of development, the issues confronting today are achieving desired development for economic or social reasons on one hand and safe guarding the environment and maintaining good quality living conditions on the other. The measures taken for pollution control in individual sectors viz. municipal waste disposal, industry, transport etc. are not solving the problems, due to ever increasing gap between ‘demand’ and ‘supply’. Such conditions pose serious health and economic stress to all residents. From the health statistics, it is evident that morbidity and mortality is often predominantly related to environmental factors. The environmental problems and increased environmental risks are due to various factors such as air pollution from vehicular, industrial and domestic sources, noise pollution, water pollution - lack of proper storm water drainage and sewerage system; improper and inadequate garbage collection and disposal system, haphazard siting of industries/processes, transportation, storage and handling of toxic or hazardous chemicals, and lack of adequate open spaces and green areas etc.

Conventionally, the environmental pollution problems are solved by introducing environmental management techniques such as control of pollution at source, providing of sewage treatment facilities etc. However, in large urban agglomerations, the problems cannot merely be solved by pollution control measures. The environmental aspects are to be induced into each of the developmental activities at the planning stage itself and are to be well co-ordinated and balanced. Presently, the environmental aspects are not usually considered while preparing master plans or budget plans and the process is skewed towards developmental needs. For all developmental activities, a crucial input is land and depending on the activity a specific landuse is decided. The environmentally related landuses are trade and commerce, housing construction, transport facilities (road, rail and water), utilities (water - surface and ground etc.), refuse/hazardous waste disposal facilities, wastewater installations, quarrying and mining, power generation, forestry, inland and coastal fisheries, recreation and tourism etc. These landuses are likely to have some impact on the environment. The best use of the land needs to be assessed in terms of not only the economic aspects but also the environmental aspects and the land uses are accordingly to be allocated so that the natural environment and ecological balance is not disturbed.

The spatial planning concepts are to be utilised at its fullest strength and at all levels to the extent possible. In India, presently spatial planning approach is mostly limited to urban areas only and the regions are not normally considered for planning purposes and for attaining balanced development. This is resulting in unbalanced development leading to increased influx of people to urban areas forming uneconomic agglomerations, over exploitation of resources thereby forming degraded ecological areas etc. The 74th amendment in the Constitution attempted to provide more flexibility in planning at the local level and along with it come more responsibilities to the local bodies and authorities, but the low or no response of local bodies to initiate the local level planning is making the whole attempt futile.

In the context of spatial planning, Germany can be taken as an example to look into because of its population densities comparable to India and limited natural resources, which also are fast becoming scares in India due to exploding population. The German planning system in based on ‘co-operation’ among various levels - federal, state, regional, local etc. and ‘balancing’ among different sectors - industry, agriculture, forestry, environment etc. The prior interaction with the lower level makes the guidelines more acceptable and the plans more implementable on ground. At the same time, this helps to achieve co-ordinated and balanced development.

In India a number of constraints are existing for introducing spatial planning these are:

* in view of the existing social and living conditions, economic interests may tend to over-ride the environmental aspects;
* ecosystem are already over-used in some areas;
* introduction of spatial planning which involves highly complex nature of planning activities is a daunting task particularly in a large country like ours;
* lack of legal framework for spatial planning, dearth of financial resources, inadequate of environmental awareness, shortage of manpower and limitations in technical competence are among the constraints in integration of environmental concerns in the development process.

The urban areas with mounting environmental problems and development priorities form thrust areas for providing solutions. There is a need to study the necessity of structural changes in the cities and to introduce planning approaches that can help go a long way in achieving environmentally compatible and sustainable development.
