Environmental pollution is a term that refers to all the ways by which people pollute their
surroundings. People dirty the air with gases and smoke, poison the water with chemicals and other
substances, and damage the soil with too many fertilizers and pesticides: People also pollute their
surroundings in various other ways. For example, they ruin natural beauty by scattering junk and
litter on the land and in the water. They operate machines and motor vehicles that fill the air with
disturbing noise. Nearly everyone causes pollution in some way. Environmental pollution is one of
the most serious problems faced by humanity today. Air, water and soil-all harmed by pollution are
necessary to the survival of all living things. Badly polluted air can cause illness, and even death.
Polluted water kills fish and other marine life. Pollution of soil reduces the amount of land available
for growing food. Environmental pollution brings ugliness to our naturally beautiful world.

Everyone wants to reduce pollution. But the pollution problem is as complicated as

it's serious. It's complicated because much pollution is caused by things that benefit
people. For example, exhaust from automobiles causes a large percentage of all air
pollution. But the automobile provides transportation for millions of people. Factories
discharge much of the material that pollutes air and water, but factories give
employment to a large number of people. 

Thus, to end or greatly reduce pollution immediately, people would have to stop using many
things that benefit them. Most people do not want to do that, of course. But pollution can be
gradually reduced in several ways. scientists and engineers can work to find ways to lessen the
amount of pollution that such things as automobiles and factories cause.
Goverment can pass and enforce laws that require businesses and individuals to stop, or cut
down on certain polluting activities.
