Abstract

Abstract Environmental pollution has become one of the most significant geographical and environmental challenges facing India. Rapid industrialization, urbanization, population growth, and the overexploitation of natural resources have resulted in serious environmental degradation. Pollution affects air, water, soil, forests, wildlife, and human health, threatening sustainable development. This research paper discusses the major forms of pollution in India, including air, water, soil, plastic, radioactive, mining, biomedical, and electronic waste pollution. It also examines their causes, impacts, and possible solutions. The study concludes that public awareness, effective government policies, and sustainable development practices are essential to reduce pollution and protect the environment for future generations. The paper is based on the information provided in the source document.
