RESEARCH PROPOSAL ON ENVIRONMENTAL

POLLUTION
AND ITS EFFECTS ON LIFE
Introduction
Environment pollution is a wide-reaching problem and it is likely to influence the
health of human populations is great. The significance of environmental factors
to the health and well-being of human populations is increasingly apparent.
Pollution reaches its most serious proportions in the densely settled urbanindustrial centers of the more developed countries. Industry, clustered in urban
and semi-urban areas surrounded by densely populated, low-income localities,
continues to pollute the environment with impunity Pollution can be made by
human activity and by natural forces as well. Selfish private enterprise and their
lack of awareness of public well-being and social costs and natural disasters e.g.
volcanic ash from Iceland are the one of the main reason of pollution.
This paper provides the insight view about the effects of environment pollution
in the perspective of air pollution, water and land/ soil waste pollution on human
by diseases and problems, animals and trees/ plants. It is found that these kinds
of pollutions are not only seriously affecting the human by diseases and
problems but also the animals and trees/ plants.

Background of the Study

Our environment is a major aspect of our life today. Many of us don't take our
Earth seriously and think that as long as pollution doesn't hurt them they can go
ahead and throw garbage on the ground or spill oil down the drain. Well to many
people have that theory and they are killing off our Earth and also physically
harming themselves from the air they breathe and the water they swim. The air
we breathe is an essential ingredient for our wellbeing and a healthy life.
Polluted air contains one, or more, hazardous substance, pollutant, or
contaminant that creates a hazard to general health. The main pollutants found
in the air we breathe include, particulate matter, lead, ground-level ozone,
heavy metals, Sulphur dioxide, benzene, carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide.
Air pollution in cities causes a shorter lifespan for city dwellers.
Polluted water consists of Industrial discharged effluents, sewage water, and
rain water pollution and polluted by agriculture or households cause damage to

human health or the environment. This water pollution affects the health and
quality of soils and vegetation. Poor quality water causes health hazard and
death of human being, aquatic life and also disturbs the production of different
crops. Improper management of solid waste is one of the main causes of
environmental pollution. Land pollution is one of the major forms of
environmental catastrophe our world is facing today.

Objectives of the Study

The study will investigate effects on human health of exposure to
environmental pollution and is to make the community become aware the
pollution and its causes. And answer to question such as how pollution is
dangerous, what are its major impacts, how to make lessen the effect of the
pollution and what are the proper solutions to prevent the illness if occurs due to
pollution of the environment. The purpose is that, the government become aware
and should create a programs that could help to prevent the pollution.

Methodology
The research methodology of this research based on mix method. The research
will be conducted through surveys, questionnaires and data also be collected by
going through newspaper, magazines, articles, research generals. Special focus
will be given to those places who are already suffering from pollution of air and
water. The researcher provide a questionnaire about what are the causes and
effects of the pollution.
