ABSTRACT
Rise in pollutants in the environment is emerging as a serious matter worldwide as it has a negative outcome on public health and environmental health at a large scale with a higher magnitude. Environmental pollution affects all abiotic and biotic forms, from unicellular prokaryote to multicellular eukaryotes. Environmental pollution includes air, water, soil, noise, and radioactive contamination. Improper waste management causes pollution in the environment. Pollution can be prevented by practicing some activities and care for nature can help us to have a healthy environment in the future. As we know that prevention is better than cure, so we have to choose alternative methods in favor of sustainability. In this chapter, we have discussed the causes of pollution and its most affected area like health and few steps taken to prevent pollution. Some initiatives have also been discussed taken by organizations, and we have performed within our own capacity.
