What steps can be taken up to control air pollution and water pollution?

Steps that can be taken to control air and water pollution are as follows:-


i.) Preventing harmful substances like harmful gases, particulates and chemical wastes produced in industries to be released directly into the air and pure water sources.


ii.) We should check if our vehicles are properly serviced or not. Incomplete combustion of fuels generates very harmful gases like carbon mono oxide which cause air pollution. Industries should also use updated machinery.



iii) Focusing our life on the principles of 3 R’s i.e. Reuse, Reduce and Recycle. For example: using bicycles for shorter distances ( reducing the use of fuel) etc.
