INTRODUCTION
 The first workable prototype of the internet
came in the late 1960s with the creation of
ARPANET, or the advanced research projects agency
network ARPANET adopted TCP/IP on 1-1-1983, and
from there researchers began to assemble the
“network of networks” that became the modern
internet.
Meaning
Internet pollution, or the impact of internet on
ecology is simply pollution caused by the operation of
the internet. Fo many, the internet is synonymous with
dematerialization. Yet, far from being dematerialized,
the internet is based on a physical infrastructure.
Indeed , a whole network of cables, data centers and
servers underpin the functioning of the internet.
DEFINITION OF INTERNET
POLLUTION
E-Pollution is environment damage that comes
from the constant heat and cooling down facilities that
are referred to data centers are where online
information is collected processed, stored and
exchanged supercomputers in these facilities are
constantly running and tend to get very hot. This can
result in a meltdown of nor only the computers but
also of the internet.
 Today, we can say that the internet has
revolutionized our era. It gave us instantaneous
information. But this upheaval has limits : it pollutes
a lot. Even if it is virtual in appearance, it uses
extremely polluting, servers. If the internet was a
country, would the 6th most polluting in the world.
 A real sources of pollution the internet uses data
processing servers, data centers, which consumes lot
of energy. A data centre consumes on average as much
as 30000 European inhabitants a day. It uses energy to
power servers, cool them down and ensure continuous
operation in the event of failure this energy causes
large releases of CO2.
 Digital pollution comes mainly from streaming
videos ADSL routers, bit coins or emails.
Example :
Let’s take the example of an email that you send. Your
email goes through copper cables to go to internet servers
near you. Then, it travels thousand of kilometers to reach
the united states. There, it is treated by your host mail like
Gmail. Finally, it was be returned to arrive in the
recipient’s mail box.
Thus, an email travels an average of 15,000 km between
sending and destination.
 There’s a big difference between sending a million
emails and sending a million letters. Choices like buying an
e-book instead of a print book, watching a film online rather
than DVD, or organizing a work meeting on skype than
flying from Barcelona to London to meet face-to-face, all
reduce environmental impact. There is no doubt that the
internet makes many everyday transactions more efficient,
but the fact that its footprint is lower than that of traditional
activities does not mean it is totally innocuous. First, the
inconvenient news: the internet consumes huge amounts of
electricity, although it is difficult to measure exactly how
much. The following questions and answers are intended to
clear up some of the doubts around this issue.
CONCLUSION
 Now a days because of internet the climate
getting polluted. The above are the reason for internet
pollution. Through the internet we use many more
technological social medias such as email, carbon
emissions, impact of internet, foot print of internet
etc…. these all are effected on human being also on
environment.
