The damage and impact of environmental pollution on the ecosystem
Environmental pollution will cause direct damage and impact on ecosystems. For example, desertification and forest destruction will also cause indirect damage to ecosystems and human society. Sometimes, this indirect environmental effect is more harmful than the direct damage caused at the time. It is also more difficult to eliminate. For example, greenhouse effect, acid rain, and ozone layer destruction are environmental effects derived from atmospheric pollution. The environmental effects derived from environmental pollution are lagging and are often not easily perceived or anticipated at the time of the pollution. However, once it occurs, it indicates that the environmental pollution has developed to a very serious level. Of course, the most direct and easiest perceived result of environmental pollution is to reduce the quality of the human environment and affect human quality of life, physical health and production activities. For example, urban air pollution causes air pollution and people’s morbidity increases. Water pollution deteriorates the quality of the water environment, and the quality of drinking water sources generally declines, threatening people’s health, causing fetal premature birth or malformations. Serious pollution incidents not only cause health problems but also cause social problems. As pollution has intensified and people’s environmental awareness has increased, population disputes and conflicts caused by pollution have increased year by year.
