Pollution

Letter November 09, 2018
Soil and water pollution is being caused by factory effluent, excessive use of pesticide and insecticides

KARACHI: I live in Korangi Industrial Area where environmental pollution is on the rise.

Air pollution is being caused by ruthless cutting down of trees, factories, emissions from motor vehicles, burning of coal, wood and other fossil fuels, etc.

Soil and water pollution is being caused by factory effluent, excessive use of pesticide and insecticides, etc.

All these kinds of pollution are harmful to humans. Effective steps should be taken to curb it.
