POLLUTION DUE TO URBANISATION

 

Urbanization is a fantastic concept that is required for any country to develop. It refers to the concept of urbanising remote areas by constructing infrastructure, which leads to development. Infrastructure includes all of the structures and institutions required for economic development to occur in a given area. Educational institutions, such as schools, colleges, and vocational learning centres, are examples of infrastructure. Healthcare facilities such as hospitals and clinics, employment opportunities, food security, and so on are all part of a country's infrastructure. It is common to see a large corporation set up a shop in a rural area, and then infrastructure is built around it, as well as development and urbanization. Jamshedpur is an example of such a place, where Tata Industries established itself many years ago and helped to develop the area. Thus, urbanisation encourages people to live better lives by providing them with more opportunities to do so through education, employment, and so on. However, it should be noted that urbanisation is one of the leading causes of pollution in today's world. Pollution comes in many forms, including air pollution, water pollution, soil pollution, and noise pollution. Every aspect of urbanisation contributes to one or more of these types of pollution. Factories and mines contribute to air pollution by emitting fumes into the atmosphere. The pollution of the water and soil around factories caused by their flowing septic is hazardous to both humans and aquatic life. Noise pollution is also caused by mine noises, the whirring of machinery in factories, and other sources. Furthermore, it is not only large industries that contribute to pollution caused by urbanisation. Part of urbanisation includes road development, which means more cars, buses, two-wheelers, three-wheelers, trucks, and so on on the road. All of these contribute to noise pollution due to constant honking, as well as air pollution due to the fumes emitted by all motor vehicles. Even when we are stuck in traffic in our cars, the fumes that surround us on the roads make it difficult to breathe. Imagine what so many fumes are doing to our planet if we are having difficulty breathing. Pollution occurs when unwanted substances contaminate the air, water, or soil. The fumes from factories and motor vehicles on the road contribute to air pollution. Soil and water pollution occur as a result of septic waste being released into the soil or water surrounding a factory. Even oil spills contribute significantly to water pollution, and all types of pollution are hazardous to live beings. Another type of pollution is noise pollution, which is caused by car horns, loud sounds in factories, the passage of planes and trains, and so on. The need for economic development leads to urbanisation. It refers to the process of making a relatively rural or remote area more urban by constructing roads, hospitals, schools, and offices, among other things. In this way, urbanisation promotes development, which is extremely beneficial to all countries. However, all of the wonderful things that urbanisation brings, such as factories to work in, motor vehicles to drive, and so much more, all contribute to increasing pollution. Even though urbanisation is critical for a country, it is also critical to address all types of pollution. One of the most pressing issues confronting our civilization today is pollution. Humans face significant challenges as their environment deteriorates daily. Pollution is defined as the mixing of any toxic element or contaminants in our natural environment. As a result of human activities, many contaminants are introduced into the natural environment, contaminating it too dangerous levels. Urbanisation is one of the factors that contribute to pollution. The negative aspect of urbanisation is the pollution emitted by manufacturers. Their equipment emits smoke into the environment, pollutes nearby water streams and land, and makes a lot of noise. As a result, there is a lot of pollution as a result of urbanization, which is extremely harmful to the environment when it first starts. Urbanization is responsible for the vast majority of pollution in our environment. It's because factories are springing up everywhere, there are more cars on the road now, and so on. Urbanization is a huge step forward for any country, and it is and should be the primary goal of every country. All people on the planet should have access to adequate healthcare, education, sanitation, nutrition, and safety, and urbanisation can help us achieve this goal. However, in the process of achieving this goal, we must not forget that pollution caused by urbanisation occurs and is extremely dangerous for the planet and, as a result, all species living on Earth in the long run.
