Now a day’s much and more attention is being paid all over the world to the protection of man’s environment on which human existence depends. By environment is meant those natural things that surround us – such as the earth’s atmosphere, healthy air drinkable water. Thus, protecting the environment means keeping nature’s gifts to mankind in as good and natural conciliation as possible. Murder of the environment, which involves senseless poisoning of the earth, air and water, and wanton destruction of forest wealth in our mad race for development, expansion and growth, is fraught with, gave consequences for mankind. The chemicals being produced and marketed for various purposes are proving use to modern civilization, particularly in the manufacturing of weapons of war, but their adverse effect on the environment can hardly be lost sight of. The UNESCO warned the world recently that ` the problems of environment were jeopardizing the development of mankind’. It is, therefore, essential that every country should have department responsible for land planning, construction of industries, transport, preservation of public amenities, control of air and water pollution, the protection of the coast and the countryside.

Pollution means anything that pollutes. Our rivers are polluted with filthy waste from factories water causes water- borne diseases such as cholera and diarrhea. There are also dangers from chemical pollution, from radio- active wastes and other wastes from homes, factories, hospitals and laboratories, and from other foreign matter that keeps on poisoning the atmosphere surrounding the earth on which we live and breathe. In the more industrial centers the danger of pollution are increasing day by day with the chimneys releasing dark smoke and coal- dust into the atmosphere and the drains getting choked with poisonous and chemical wastes. Pollution control is, therefore, a ` must’ if we want to avoid disease and lead a healthy and happy life.
