Abstract

Pollution is a major challenge of our times and is a serious threat to the very existence of mankind on this earth. The pollution of the environment has gone to such an extent that we are unable to breathe fresh air and drink fresh water. Pollution is an outcome of human civilization. When primitive man learnt to use fire, the air pollution began. The advancement of science and technology gave us comfort through automobiles, supersonic jets, space crafts, electrical appliances, better medicines and effective pesticides on one hand, but on the other has given us serious hazards to face namely, pollution. The rapid industrial progress has also added greatly to this serious problem.
