POLLUTION FREE
No, there are no completely pollution-free places on Earth, but very remote
locations like deep caves, sub-glacier lakes in the Arctic and Antarctic,
and deep ocean trenches may be closest to pristine conditions due to
minimal human interaction. For accessible areas, countries like Estonia,
Luxembourg, and Finland consistently rank high for low pollution levels and
excellent environmental performance.
Areas far from human populations, such as parts of the Congo Basin,
Amazon rainforest, and the Arctic and Antarctic, are generally cleaner,
especially their freshwater sources. Sub-glacial lakes, like Lake Vostok in
Antarctica, and deep caves may hold water from before the Industrial
Revolution, remaining largely untouched by modern pollution. Nations that
prioritize environmental protection often have high scores on environmental
performance indices, leading to cleaner air and water.
Estonia: Leads in terms of environmental responsibility, excelling in clean
air, water, and fresh greenery. Luxembourg: Scores high due to excellent
water management, sanitation, and wastewater treatment. Finland: Known for
its clean air and water, making it one of the most livable places in the
world.
Why "Completely Pollution-Free" is Unlikely
Global Contamination: Pollution is not a localized issue; tiny plastic
particles, for instance, have been found in remote areas.
Industrial Revolution Impact: Pollution from industrial activities, even if
far away, can be transported globally through air and water currents.
Measuring Pollution: Pollution can be measured in many forms, from
microscopic particles in the air to chemical compounds in the water, and it
is unlikely any place is entirely free of all of them.
How pollution is defended?
Bogota is one of Latin America’s leaders in reducing air pollution. The
city is electrifying its public bus network and aims to completely
electrify the metro system, part of an ambitious plan to reduce its air
pollution by 10 per cent by 2024. Bogota’s mayor, Claudia López Hernández,
has also highlighted the importance of bikes. “We now have more than 1
million trips on a daily basis by bike,” she said in 2020. While much of
Bogotá’s pollution comes from transport, forest fires in neighbouring
regions and countries have also added to the toll.
Poland is home to 36 of the European Union’s 50 most-polluted cities, with
air pollution responsible for 47,500 premature deaths every year. It is now
fighting back, having signed the C40 Clean Air Cities Declaration in 2019.
Earlier this year, it launched Breathe Warsaw, a partnership with Clean Air
Fund and Bloomberg Philanthropies to improve air quality. Warsaw now has
165 air sensors across the city, the largest network in Europe, and Breathe
Warsaw will use them to develop an air quality database, allowing officials
to better understand pollution sources. The initiative will also provide
technical assistance to support the phase-out of coal heating, set up a
low-emission zone by 2024 and connect local leaders to share best practices
With 26 million people living in Greater Seoul, it is no surprise the city
is facing an air quality crisis. Indeed, the mean exposure of Koreans to a
toxic particle known as PM2.5 is the highest of any state in the
Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development. PM2.5 levels in Seoul
are about twice those of other major cities in developed countries. In
2020, the city announced it would ban diesel cars from all public sector
and mass transit fleets by 2025. Meanwhile, a partnership with the United
Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) will explore the lessons learned over
the past 15 years on improving air quality and help share these experiences
with other cities in the region.
Accra was the first African city to join the Breathe Life campaign and is
considered a leader among cities on the continent aiming to tackle air
pollution. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), more than
28,000 people die prematurely every year as a result of air pollution,
while the Ghanaian capital’s average air pollution levels are five times
WHO guidelines. The city has started a campaign to educate people about the
health dangers of indoor cookstoves and to discourage locals from burning
their waste. A joint effort between the WHO and the Climate and Clean Air
Coalition is supporting a city-wide assessment of the health benefits of
switching to more sustainable transport, waste and household energy systems.
Given Bangkok’s traffic is some of the worst in the world, it is no
surprise the city often labours under a layer of pollution. In 2020,
hundreds of schools were forced to close as the levels of fine particulate
matter – or PM2.5 – in the air reached unsafe levels. The city has launched
a number of initiatives to tackle both air pollution and carbon emissions.
The Green Bangkok 2030 project, launched in 2019, aims to increase the
ratio of green space in the city to 10sqm per person, have trees covering
30 per cent of the city’s total area, and ensure footpaths meet
international standards. Eleven parks are set to open during the project’s
first phase, as well as a 15km greenway, all with the aim of encouraging
less reliance on private transportation, thereby reducing pollution.
The burning of fossil fuels—coal, oil, and gas—is the primary
driver of global pollution, particularly air pollution from power
generation, transportation, and industry, and a major contributor to
climate change and associated greenhouse gas emissions. Other significant
causes include agricultural practices (especially nitrogen fertilizer use),
improper waste management, and the burning of biomass for cooking and
heating, especially in households.
Fossil Fuels
Power Generation: The burning of coal and other fossil fuels for
electricity production is a major source of air pollutants, including fine
particulate matter (PM2.5).
Transportation: Vehicles are a leading source of air pollution, emitting
pollutants like nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter
that contribute to respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, according to
the World Health Organization (WHO).
Industry: Chemical plants, oil refineries, and other industrial processes
that rely on fossil fuels are significant sources of pollution.
Agriculture: The application of nitrogen fertilizers in agriculture, both
synthetic and organic, leads to increased emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O),
a potent greenhouse gas.
Residential Energy Use: In many parts of the world, burning biomass for
cooking and heating indoors is a major source of air pollution and is
linked to millions of premature deaths annually.
Waste Management: Improper disposal of waste, including organic waste,
contributes to land pollution and can generate greenhouse gas emissions as
it decays.
Incineration: The burning of waste, both municipal and industrial, can
release harmful pollutants into the air.
Per capita greenhouse gas emissions by sector, World, 2022
Per capita greenhouse gas emissions are measured in kilograms of carbon
dioxide-equivalents per person per year.
Electricity and heat 2,080 kg
Transport 1,010 kg
Manufacturing and construction 786 kg
Agriculture 758 kg
Fugitive emissions 423 kg
Buildings 405 kg
Industry 394 kg
Waste 237 kg
Land-use change and forestry 162 kg
Aviation and shipping 142 kg
Other fuel combustion 75.3 kg

OUR LIFE, SLOWLY WE MAY GO BACK TO POLLUTION FREE. ARE WE PREPARED FOR
THAT? K RAJARAM IRS 61025
