Environmental Pollution in Sri Lanka
Sri
Lanka is a conventionally known as agricultural country but in last twenty
years it is being somewhat industrial growth due to the industrial revaluation
of country due to population enlargement and technology improvement. According
to the population growth of country it is difficult to fulfill their
requirements by using conventional resources and industries hence, government
have to approve new industries and services to fulfill consumer needs and
wants. By considering other countries just like United States of America and
china, our country greenhouse gas emission levels are very low according to
industrial enlargement. Therefore government has mitigated environmental rules
than other countries to grow local as well as foreign entrepreneur in Sri
Lanka. Although it is good news for business world but it is not good news for
environment lovers like us. Here I hope to critically discuss this statement by
giving suitable example. According to the government mitigation of
environmental rules following may happen and greenhouse gases emission will
increase to our environment.
Destroying Forest
According
to issuing new permits for the cutting trees some people cut forest without
controlling environment concepts. Trees of the earth are main sources to absorb
emitted carbon dioxide. In photosynthesis process trees absorb carbon dioxide
and release oxygen. Therefore it is very helpful to keep unity of green house
effect. In increasing greenhouse effect unusually without balance due to the forest
percentage in world, the environment temperature of earth rise and not balance
hence, glacier of North and South Pole will be dissolve and mix with sea water.
Then
some islands may fall under sea water. Sri Lanka also highly affected this some
land area being to decay. The best example is sea erosion of wellawatta, and kollupitiya
beach of Sri Lanka.
Wood Burning
Another
thing is wood burning in industry and also according to wood burning, highly
release carbon dioxide. This burning is not recoverable hence; it is helps to
increase greenhouse effect.
Crude Oil Burning
Crude
oil refining products just like diesel, gasoline, kerosene contains hydrocarbon
molecules and in burning that in vehicle engine sometime not burning process
not done as 100% then unburned hydrocarbon release to environment and generate
greenhouse effect by carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.
Coal Burning
Coals
are also highly carbon based soils and those are releases large amount of
greenhouse gases when burning. The best example is Norochchole power plant is
running by consuming coal and release huge Co, Co2, So2,
and other harmful greenhouse gases per day. It cannot be controlled using trees
and 16% of forest content of Sri Lanka. And by depositing unburdened carbon on plant
leaf may reduce photosynthesis process and absorbency of carbon dioxide amount
may reduce.
Un-burned Gases Emission
Unburned
gases emission may occur even domestic usage for an example our domestic gas
cooker can be taken. In there, if yellow flame may see it says unburn is
occurred and if blue flame seen it says fully burning. In the industry unburned
gases may released highly therefore that released greenhouse gases affect to
quick climatic change in environment. Therefore this topic is also need to be
discussed.
