Introduction to pollution
Pollution can be defined as the introduction of the contaminants that are harmful for
the environment and for every human being. It has adverse effects on the entire environment
as well as on the different habitat of species. There are different species that are present in the
ecosystem. The pollution might cause harm to the different species of the ecosystem. The
agents of pollution vary as they are present in different forms. They are in the form of air;
they are sometimes present in the form of water, sometimes in the form of soil and sometimes
in the form of sound. Each form of pollution has own way of adverse effects on the
environment.
With the passage of time and with the increasing pace of industrialization and the
economic development it has to be mentioned there has been an increase in the level of
pollution. The environmental pollution has increased to a great level and it has grown to a
dangerous and harmful level. With the development in the industrial sector and the economic

the larger amount of people. The problem of pollution has grown to such a level that it has
caused serious harm to the people of different cities and nations. According to the researches
it has been found that nearly 9 million of people have been found dead because of pollution
(Powell, 2017).
However it can be mentioned that UK like any other country has been found to be
severely affected because of pollution. The essay concentrates on the way that has been
adopted in order to solve the problems related to the pollution and the existence of the same
in different forms in the need of the overall UK environment to address with a proper
framework and roadmap in place through which the implementation of the policies and
measures ensures the sustainability of the environment. It further aims towards the betterment
of the environment on a more efficient and much advanced level.
Pollution in the UK
The entire UK faces the threat of pollution. The results of pollution in UK are grave
and they are faced by every individual dwelling in the regions of UK. The most prevalent
form of pollution in UK is air pollution. It is the mostly existing form of pollution in the
entire region. According to the report that was published in the year 2015, it was revealed that
more than 50,000 people die because of air pollution in UK every year. It has been further
found that the number of deaths because of pollution is higher in UK compared to the other
developed countries like the France, Germany and Spain.
Air pollution was found to be the major cause of death in UK as found in the reports.
It has been pointed out by the Chief executive of the British lung foundation, Dr Penny
Woods that the consequences of air pollution was left unchecked and this was the main
reason of the increase of the air pollution to a larger extent and it was increasing globally.

Apart from this the other exert named Simon Gillespie who is the chief executive of
the British Heart Foundation added that in UK the air quality is poor and it therefore affects
some of the most disadvantages and vulnerable members of different communities. These
members include people having cardiovascular conditions, people who are young as well as
elderly. Some effective steps have been taken by some organizations in spite of that the
awareness level of the air pollution has to be increased. It should be taken into account that
the apart from the publishing of different reports and other initiatives related to the
awareness, it is important to outline the fact that soon some strong and effective steps have
been taken by the different departments of the administration of a particular country in order
to ensure the way of controlling the effects and the adverse conditions that arise in the
environment due to air pollution (Mosley, 2009).
One of such initiative that is related to the eradication of the air pollution is the form
of England Air Management. It consists of the fact that while any local authority is able to
find an area where the required volume and percentages of different environmental
components are not being met, the authority has been given the power to declare that
particular area as an Air Quality Management Area (AQMA). The result of this can lead to
the produce of a local Air Quality Action Plan which can measure the improvement of the air
in that particular area. If it is not improved, the plan will work on the improvement of the
same. The organizations like the DEFRA have been found to play an important role in this
context. All such environmental authorities have been formulated in order to ensure the safety
and security of every species that is possible only by keeping them away from any kind of
pollution. The policies are framed in order to make way of eradicating pollution from the
environment and to make the air of the environment safe to inhale for all the species in the
environment.
