National Pollution Control Day 2021: Every year on December 2, the United States commemorates National Pollution Control Day. The day is commemorated in honour of all those who lost their live's in the Bhopal Gas Disaster on the nights of December 2nd and 3rd, 1984.
The deadly gas Methyl Isocyanate, generally known as MIC, killed a large number of individuals. The Bhopal Gas Disaster is regarded as one of the worst industrial pollution catastrophes in history.
Environmental contamination has far-reaching effects on people's quality of life, both intrinsically and extrinsically. All of this is mostly due to human activities that degrade the ecosystem in several ways. Because everyone on the planet has the right to breathe clean air, drink clean water, and enjoy public lands, pollution prevention has become a major worldwide priority.
According to India's National Health Portal, over 7 million people globally die each year as a result of air pollution, with 4 million of those dying from indoor air pollution.
The pollution level is so high that nine out of 10 people on the planet do not have access to clean air. Airborne pollutants, in particular, are so tiny that they can pass through the mucus membrane and other protective barriers, harming the lungs, heart, and brain.
