Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions below.

Bangladesh is now in the grip of all sorts of pollution like air pollution, soil pollution and water pollution. The dwellers of the urban areas are the worst sufferers of such pollution. The indiscriminate industrialisation process in Bangladesh over the past decades has created significant environmental problems. We will now read about some of the most common types of environmental pollutions and ways of coping with them.

Air pollution

Air pollution comes from a wide variety of sources. In Bangladesh poisonous exhausts from industrial plants, brick kilns, old or poorly-serviced vehicles and dust from roads and construction sites are some of the major sources of air pollution. We can minimise this type of pollution by making less use of motor vehicles and avoiding the use of vehicles older than 20 years. We may also use proper lubricants to lessen the level of emission and pollutants. We can encourage people to use Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) or Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) for fuelling their cars. The government may relocate hazardous industries like brick kilns to areas away from human habitations.

Water pollution

Water pollution can occur in oceans; rivers, lakes, ponds and underground reservoirs. As different water sources flow together, the pollution can spread easily and quickly. Causes of water pollution include:

  • increased sediment from soil
  • erosion
  • improper waste disposal and littering
  • leakage of soil pollution into water supplies
  • organic materials that decay in water supplies

In fact, polluting the land means polluting the water. Throwing away a toxic substance on the ground near a water source means it eventually reaches the body of water. As a result, the water is polluted. Industrial wastes must not be disposed in rivers or lakes. We need to be more careful about disposing household wastes too. Use of pesticides means that when it rains, chemicals used in the lawn or garden wash into the water bodies. Therefore, we must be aware of the dangers of using pesticides as they may pollute our rivers, canals and lakes.

উত্তরঃ

The people of the urban areas are the worst sufferers of the main pollutions.

উত্তরঃ

In Bangladesh the indiscriminate and unplanned industrialization over the past decades has created significant environmental problems.

উত্তরঃ

Poisonous exhaust from industrial plants, brick kilns, old and unfit vehicles and dust from roads and construction sites are the main sources of air pollution in our country.

উত্তরঃ

We can reduce air pollution by reducing the use of motor vehicles, avoiding the use of unfit or poorly serviced vehicles and by using proper lubricants for vehicles.

উত্তরঃ

Two kinds of pollutions have been mentioned here in the passage. Yes, I think, there are some other forms of pollutions too. They are soil pollution, sound pollution and odour pollution.

উত্তরঃ

LPG means Liquid Petroleum Gas. It is used as a fuel for many residential, commercial and agricultural heat applications including cooking, heating, fuelling cars, etc.

উত্তরঃ

CNG stands for Compressed Natural Gas. We can lessen the level of emission and pollution by using CNG, LPG for fuelling oils, relocating hazardous industries to areas away from human habitations.

উত্তরঃ

Water pollution mainly occurs in oceans, rivers, lakes, ponds and underground reservoirs.

উত্তরঃ

Water pollution can spread quickly because different water sources flow together.

উত্তরঃ

Water pollution occurs due to increased sediment form soil, erosion, improper waste disposal and littering, organic materials that decay in water supplies.

উত্তরঃ

I think people should be aware of using pesticides because they wash into the water bodies and pollute water.

উত্তরঃ

We can take some measures to prevent water pollution like- not disposing industrial wastes in rivers or lakes, being careful about disposing household wastes, being aware of using pesticides.
