Space: Pollution Is a Global Responsibility

The statement says that pollution is a global responsibility, but first of all, in order to understand the statement and therefore argue the points of view, we must state what can be defined as Pollution. The Oxford dictionary states that to pollute an area is to…
“…Destroy the purity or sanctity of; make foul or filthy; contaminate or defile…”
There are many types of pollution, of which the most common is atmospheric pollution. Atmospheric pollution is generally caused by the emissions of substances from mainly industry but also at home. A major cause of atmospheric pollution is the release of gases such as Carbon Dioxide, Methane and Sulphur Dioxide from industry, transport and the burning of material.
Industry is also the main cause of the pollution of rivers and oceans, where chemicals are dumped into water in the hope they will diffuse into the vast amounts of water, however, it doesn’t work this way and slowly the oceans are becoming saturated with our pollution. This pollution of water has caused Soil pollution, where most of the nutrients needed by the soil is gained through the absorption of our polluted water.
Other pollutants that are not destructive to the physical environment but effect the human environment are noise, light and heat pollution. This pollution occurs everyday in the urbanized world where we leave on lights, leave windows open when trying to heat our homes and produce decibels of noise that annoys our closest neighbors. Even though we occasionally don’t consider this as polluting the area, we are “…destroying the purity and sanctity of…” our environment.
In the opinion of many people, we are all responsible for the pollution that we cause and for preventing it. Many countries have a strict policy that enforces industry and residential areas to ensure that their own area is within the safety standards for a human environment. However, other countries are unable to enforce such a law and the inhabitants of that country are
