Environmental pollution is defined as any adverse change in the environment brought on by the introduction of contaminants. It has been around as long as human civilizations have, as evidence by soot found on the ceilings of prehistoric caves and core samples of glacial ice that show signed pollution dating from ancient times. The industrial revolution and globalization have resulted in exponential growth in pollution, making it a key environmental and political issue which we, as species, have only relatively recently started to tackle in a reasonably effective manner. The modern age had also brought us new kinds of pollution in addition to reinvigorating the more traditions ones, finally forced us to take the problem seriously and try to reduce our harmful effect our surroundings, aptly called the ecological footprint.

Air pollution is defined as the contamination of air by harmful gases, smoke or radiation Carbon, sulfur and nitrogen oxides are the most prevalent and are considered the most harmful air pollutants. partly due to their large quantities always being present in the atmosphere. They are produced by vehicle exhausts, the burning of fuel, radiation spills and nuclear accidents. pollution is linked to asthma, allergies and other respiratory illnesses. Adopting alternative energy sources can improve air quality by decreasing the amount of airborne pollutants. Replacing fossil fuels with cleaner renewable energy sources would decrease the production of carbon dioxide. Another way to combat air pollution would be to reduce the burning of sulphur-rich coal and gas as this would lower the levels of sulphur-dioxide and nitrogen oxide in the atmosphere, Causes of environmental pollution. 

• Pollution from cars, trucks, and other vehicles is and has been our major environmental pollution issue for almost a century now. The problem is we did not realize this until the problem had manifested to monumental proportions.
• Fossil fuel emissions from power plants which burn coul as fuel contributed heavily, along with vehicles burning fossil fuels, to the production of smog. Smog is the result of fossil fuel combustion combined with sunlight and heat. The result is a toxic gas which now surrounds our once pristine planet. This is known as "ozone smog" and means we have more problems down here than we do in the sky.
• Carbon dioxide is another product from all of the vehicles on the planet as well as unreformed power plants and other industrial facilities. A continually growing population of humans and clear cutting of forests has exacerbated this problem so natural defenses are no longer present and carbon dioxide levels are on the rise.
• Water is a major issue. Many industries dump wastes into rivers, lakes, ponds, and streams in an attempt to hide wastes from EPA inspectors. These water sources feed major crops and food becomes contaminated with a variety of chemicals and bacteria, causing rampant health problems.
• Radiation comes into play as well. This is an exceedingly nasty pollution issue and requires extensive description, Primarily, there is radiation from the sun. As the natural ozone layer around the Earth has become depleted. The sun is wonderful, but the only reason we are able to survive on this planet so close to the sun is due to the fact of natural shielding against solar radiation. As the protective ozone layer around the planet has become thinner, ultraviolet radiation has risen significantly, causing increases in skin cancers and other types of cancer in all countries, killing millions of people every year.
• More radiation is a problem. The sun shining brightly on a naked planet is not the only source of radiation we are exposed to. Electromagnetic radiation is another insidious culprit. Once upon a time, the major concern around this type of radiation was due to high tension wires which carry huge amounts of electricity to cities. Now, we even carry sources of this radiation with us as cell phones, laptops, tablets and other wireless devices. Solutions to Environmental Pollution
• Gas emission pollution is being mitigated in a variety of ways with car emission control, electric and hybrid vehicles and public transportation systems. Not all major cities have successful and decent public transportation in place, but the world is working on this issue constantly and we have managed to reduce emissions profoundly over the last There is much catching up to do.
• The cost radioactive power plants is be corning apparent and the days of coal power plants are nearly dead. The radiation is a serious issue. Radioactive leakage from power plants and nuclear testing have already contaminated oceanic life to such a degree that it will take hundreds of years to return to normal. More radiation solutions are in the works with various ecologically friendly power technologies being built every day. 
• Solar power is a fantastic solution. Now that solar radiation is at a climactic peak, we can rea power from the sun using solar panel systems. These range from home systems to larger systems powering entire communities and cities.
• Wind power is coming into play. This may not seem like much at first, but when you get abou 100 feet off the ground, there is a great deal of wind up there. By building wind turbines to harvest natural wind energy, electricity is produced. Wind turbine power and solar power are both powerful forces against fossil fuel power and radioactive power. The one problem power companies. They want to stay with radioactive power plants, because they actually can' be removed. It has become the crusades of many individuals and small corporations to make the switch and there are plenty of people following this as populations cry out for help.
• Electromagnetic radiation reduction. Once major manufacturers of computers and electronic devices realized the blatant potential for huge ER emissions directly into the eyes and brains of users, they started to implement hardware protocols to minimize risks and reduce ER production significantly. Newer devices are in the lead to knock this problem out and fortunately, this is working. 

Conclusion: awareness should be created through mass-media among people about the effects of different type's pollution. Green financing by different commercial banks is crucial for lessening the environmental pollution. Banks should invest more on environment-friendly technology. Government should take up rubbish recycling program so that that rubbishes can be utilized for the generation of electricity.
