Air pollution in India occurs from both natural and human sources, and is a major health risk. Sources of air pollution include gases and particulates that can cause diseases and death. Indoor and urban air pollution are two of the world's worst toxic problems. Overall, air pollution causes around 7 million deaths worldwide each year. Plastic pollution is also a major problem, as plastic waste in the environment can harm wildlife and enter the oceans. Both the abundance and durability of plastics have led to high levels of plastic pollution. Living things like marine animals are vulnerable to plastic through entanglement, ingestion, or chemical exposure.

1. Pollution in India
Air pollution occurs when harmful or excessive
quantities of substances are introduced into Earth's
atmosphere. Sources of air pollution include gases
Air pollution occurs when harmful or excessive quantities
of substances are introduced into Earth's atmosphere.
Sources of air pollution include gases (such
as ammonia, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrous
oxides, methane and chlorofluorocarbons), particulates (b
oth organic and inorganic), and biological molecules. It
may cause diseases, allergies and even death to humans;
it may also cause harm to other living organisms such as
animals and food crops, and may damage
the natural or built environment. Both human activity and
natural processes can generate air pollution.
Air pollution is a significant risk factor for a number
of pollution-related diseases, including respiratory
infections, heart disease, COPD, stroke and lung cancer.
The human health effects of poor air quality are far
reaching, but principally affect the body's respiratory
system and the cardiovascular system. Individual
reactions to air pollutants depend on the type of pollutant a
person is exposed to, the degree of exposure, and the
individual's health status and genetics Indoor air pollution
and poor urban air quality are listed as two of the world’s
worst toxic pollution problems in the 2008 Blacksmith
Institute World's Worst Polluted Places report. Outdoor air

Overall, air pollution causes the deaths of around 7 million
people worldwide each year, and is the world's largest
single environmental health risk

3. Plastic pollution is the accumulation of plastic
objects and particles (e.g. plastic bottles, bags and micro
beads) in the Earth's environment that adversely Plastic
pollution is the accumulation of plastic objects and
particles (e.g. plastic bottles, bags and microbe ads) in the
Earth's environment that adversely affects wildlife, wildlife
habitat, and humans Plastics that act as pollutants are
categorized into micro-, meso-, or macro debris, based on
size Plastics are inexpensive and durable, and as a result
levels of plastic production by humans are high However,
the chemical structure of most plastics renders them
resistant to many natural processes of degradation and as
a result they are slow to degrade. Together, these two
factors have led to a high prominence of plastic pollution in
the environment.
Plastic pollution can afflict land, waterways and oceans. It
is estimated that 1.1 to 8.8 million tones of plastic waste
enters the ocean from coastal communities each
year. Living organisms, particularly marine animals, can
be harmed either by mechanical effects, such as
entanglement in plastic objects, problems related to
ingestion of plastic waste, or through exposure to
chemicals within plastics that interfere with their
physiology. Effects on humans include disruption of
various hormonal mechanisms.
