Engineers are the professionals who have the enhanced knowledge on machinery, electrical, mechanical, construction and almost all expect of science in the modern society.
In every year, lots of youths are coming to the society with a degree of engineering. They can play a huge role in the environment to reduce the pollution.
Control measure has to start from the roots. Engineers can suggest the places which are less in pollution, chances of environment pollution are very less and area is capable of easily assimilating the toxins that will be present in the smoke from the production line, as smoke residue, or in the form of poisonous gases. Engineers has to make the final layout of the industries that very few amounts of area or people will be effected by any sort of environmental contamination.
While in designing and making layout, engineers should be very causes how the chimney are made, height of the chimney, what is the toxic gases going to release through that chimney and that types of filters need to fix before its release in the atmosphere. As we know that our lot of national monuments are under threat due to acid rain.
While selecting the industrial location itself, there should be strong action plan regarding the types of wastage going to produce and straight plan of proper disposal of those waste without effecting our environment and fellow beings.
Main effects of environmental pollution,
1- Green house effect.
2-Global worming.
Green house Effect
The way that "greenhouse gases" trap heat near to the Earth's surface is known as the greenhouse effect. Think of these heat-trapping gases as a blanket surrounding Earth, keeping it warmer than it would be without them. Natural greenhouse gases are a component of our atmosphere. Because of this, Earth is sometimes referred to as the "Goldilocks" planet because its climate is just suitable for fostering the growth of life, including our own. The Earth's built-in greenhouse effect, which typically keeps the globe at a comfortable 15 °C (59 °F), contributes to why it is so hospitable. However, for the past century or two, people have been affecting the energy balance of the planet, primarily by burning fossil fuels, which increases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Since decades, the amount of carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere has been steadily increasing, which traps additional heat close to the planet's surface and causes temperatures to rise.
Global warming
The gradual increase in the planet's surface temperature is known as global warming. Although this warming trend has been around for a while, the burning of fossil fuels has greatly accelerated its pace over the past century. The amount of fossil fuels burned has increased along with the size of the human population. Burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas results in the "greenhouse effect," which affects the atmosphere of Earth. Total annual global temperature rise during the Industrial Revolution has been little over 1 degree Celsius, or over 2 degrees Fahrenheit. It increased on average by 0.07 degrees Celsius (0.13 degrees Fahrenheit) per 10 years between 1880—the year that accurate record keeping started—and 1980. The rate of growth, however, has more than doubled since 1981: Over the past 40 years, the yearly global temperature has increased by 0.18 degrees Celsius, or 0.32 degrees Fahrenheit, every decade.
Only educated persons can make changes in the society. Every engineering proposal always tries to make environmental friendly.
