In big cities this pollution has reached levels that pose a threat to health of the city dwellers. Some cities have already advised their residents to wear gas masks when they venture onto the streets. The only way to reduce this pollution is obviously to reduce the number of vehicles on the road. This is easier said than done for very few people would want to sacrifice the convenience of having their own transports. Factories and industrial plants are largely responsible for pollution of air, water and land. The wastes they discharge into the rivers and land destroy both. The smoke they emit pollutes the air. What they must do is to find ways to reduce their wastes. Also, they have to treat their wastes so that they are less harmful. All these things are required if we are to see any reduction of pollution. At the rate things are going, however, we see the increase in pollution instead. 41.
