how to write a article on pollution

 hi samir this is for you

Corruption is today a world-wide phenomenon. In our own country some people in high positions lave been charged for it.

A corrupt person is termed immoral, dishonest and unscrupulous in his dealings. His disregard for honesty, righteousness and truth results in his alienation from society. He is treated with contempt. But as erosion of values leads to decadence, remedies for the social malaise remain elusive, and so no amount of contempt can eradicate corruption which is a symptom of decadence.

Corruption is the most virulent when crises everywhere threaten the very existence of the society and the faith in life is shaken. It has always been there like tie leech, but when the system grows weaker and the boat flounders, it gets bolder and drains its victims of the last drops of their blood.

The older the system the weaker it grows and fails to solve the riddles of life that grows more complex every day. So men lose faith in it and let it drift down. At this point corruption takes over and plunges the entire society. After Second World War the old system with all its values was left in a shambles. The crippling effects of the war, the recession and depression, and uncertainties in a faithless world of maimed and moribund encouraged cynicism in a section of the population.

This section included the government officials dealing in essential commodities. They found the post-war conditions ideal for fishing in troubled waters and jetting richer. They formed a sort of vicious circle in which moral values and honest intentions no longer held valid. The flourishing black market in essential commodities, adulteration of even baby- food, bribery, fraud and economic, political and administrative manipulations with an eye on earning profits has brought untold misery to the people.

One would say the corruption in India has an ancient lineage; it is sanctified by tradition. The author of the Arthasastra made some remarks on government officials of his time which are relevant even today: "Just as it is impossible not to taste the honey or the poison that finds itself at the tip of the tongue, so it is impossible for a government servant not to eat up at least a bit of the king's revenue. These in the post­war world became only bolder while eating up government money and accepting bribes.

Today, when India is free, these officials representing all government departments are very close to the most corrupt businessmen who are too unscrupulous to let any opportunity of amassing profits slip. This collusion broadens the base of the vicious circle and corruption spreads 'like wild fire to engulf the entire society. The political and social guardians depend only too much on the richer communities and they look indulgently on while these communities hold the entire society and the government to ransom.

Corruption starts at the top and percolates down to the whole society. Such corruption cannot be confined to the towns alone. It is as widespread in the villages where the dishonest officials and the traders carry the germs of the disease. The tyranny of confusion and price rules the land and the people are helpless victims of corruption everywhere.

The smokestacks of chemical plants send pollution into the air.age fotostock/SuperStock

Pollution happenswhen theenvironmentis contaminated, or dirtied, by waste, chemicals, and other harmful substances. There are three main forms of pollution: air, water, and land.

Air Pollution

Wildfires, volcanoes, and industrial chemicals cause some air pollution. But most air pollution comes from burningfossil fuels. These include coal, oil, and natural gas. Factories, electrical plants, and automobiles burn these fuels for power. The burning of fossil fuels may release solid particles, such as ash and soot, into the air. It also may release harmful gases. This type of pollution may be seen in the form ofsmog over big cities. Smog-filled air is hazy, or hard to see through.

Air pollution may cause such diseases as cancer and asthma. Air pollution also leads toacid rain, or polluted rain that can harm living things. In addition, air pollution may be a cause ofglobal warming, which is a steady rise in Earth's average temperature. Finally, air pollution damages a part of the atmosphere called theozone layer. The ozone layer is important because it protects Earth against harmful rays from the Sun.

Water Pollution

Some causesof water pollution are easy to see. People dump garbage and sewage into creeks, rivers, ponds, lakes, and oceans. Factories or cities sometimes release oils, poisonouschemicals, and other wastes into water.

Other causes of water pollution are not so direct. The use of chemicals in farming is one example. Farmers use some chemicals asfertilizers, or substances added to soil to help crops grow. They use other chemicals aspesticides orherbicides. These are substances that kill pests or weeds. When these chemicals seep into the ground, they may make the groundwater unfit to drink. Chemicals also may drain into rivers and lakes, where they can harm fish and other forms of life.

Land Pollution

Littering, or tossing garbage on the ground, is a form of land pollution. Litter is unpleasant to look at. It also can destroy the habitats, or homes, of plants and animals.

The buildup of dangerous chemicals in the ground is another form of land pollution. The chemicals may come from farms or factories. These chemicals can spread to plants and animals. They may even harm people who eat the contaminated plants and animals.

Controlling Pollution

Many governments, environmental groups, and ordinary people are working to control pollution. Governments have passed laws to keep people from releasing dangerous chemicals into the environment. Some companies and people are trying to use fewer fossil fuels. Instead they are getting power from sunlight, wind, water, and other energy sources that produce less pollution. Many communities userecyclingto reduce pollution. Recycling is the process of making new products out of used paper, plastic, glass, aluminum, or other materials.
