INTRODUCTION
The production of pollutions comes as the by-product of man’s
actions. They are residences of things he makes uses and throws away, his cans
and bottles, metals and plastics caps, waste rock and mill tailings, pesticides
and herbicides, automobiles exhausters and industrial discharges. These are
concomitants of a technological society with a high standard of living. They
increase both because of population increase and because of an increasing
expectation fro higher living standards, more is made, used and thrown away.
But, as the committee on pollution of National Academy of science noted in 1966.
“As he earth becomes more crowded, there is no longer a way one person’s trash
basket is another’s living space.”
Pollution therefore can be primarily a consequence of irrigational
behavioral.
These researches work little. “The effects of pollution to the
society, it’s causes and effects, seeks to exonerate on what causes the
pollution and how to handle the causes with a view to eliminate it.
It is also aimed at enlightening the general populace on a need to
maintain a healthy environment as a prerequisite for a fulfilled and
achievement propelled life.
