My Greetings to everybody present here and thanks for giving your precious time. Today
I would like to deliver a speech on Air Pollution which has become a major challenge in recent
times.
Air pollution means mixing of external hazardous gases and particulate matter in the air,
which ultimately route inside our body through inhalation. These gradually lead to respiratory
disorders and hence affect the health of human beings. Hence nowadays air pollution is
becoming a major concern for humanity.
There could be various causes of air pollution in today’s world. The world is developing
at the cost of the environment. Today’s society in view of modernization is neglecting the
mother nature and thereby adopting the lifestyle which ultimately cost us on our health. The
number of vehicles on road has increased tremendously in the past few decades, hence the
emission level has also gone up. This can be very well seen by an increase in ppm-level.
Besides, the smoke and poisonous gases from chemical factories are polluting the air.
The increase in usage of Air conditioners in homes is also a cause of air pollution.
There are many harmful effects of air pollution to human. When polluted gases or
smoke was inhaled by pregnant ladies, it will cause the unborn child to come in contact with it
before taking birth. These children tend to have a high possibility of respiratory diseases as
compared to other children.
The decrease in trees and plants leads to an imbalance in nature. It causes Global
warming and depletion of the Ozone layer. Global warming leads to an imbalance of the natural
cycle and melting of polar ice caps , which is again a foreseen danger. The depletion of the
ozone layer allows the infrared rays to enter our atmosphere, thereby causing skin diseases.
Air pollution is affecting the animals as well. It causes acid rains which leads to the death
of a lot of animals and marine creatures. Increasing allergic patients nowadays are due to air
pollution too. Asthma is affecting the people of all age groups starting from 0 years of age.
Nature is an asset given to us. It has given life to living beings. And to pass on this asset
to our offsprings as it is, we need to take good care of it. If we need our future generations to
grow up in a healthy environment, then we need to take the steps now.
We need to stop cutting the trees for the sake of the construction of residential colonies
or factories. We need to adopt public transports for long distances and bicycles for shorter
distances, so as to reduce the smoke and emissions and thereby reducing air pollution. Mother
Nature needs to be taken care of well for the flourishing of our upcoming generations. Let’s
take a pledge now to respect and protect our environment.
Thank you all for listening and for giving your precious time.
