RESEARCH PROPOSAL ON ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION AND IT’S 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

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.
