Pollution

Pollution is the most talked about issue these days. There are many reasons behind pollution of the environment. Smoke that comes out from the brickfields is a major reason behind such pollution. From the chimney which is used to burn raw bricks smoke comes out continuously and pollute the environment severely. But we cannot think of modern civilization without bricks. As there is no alternative to burning bricks we should be a bit careful in doing so for our own survival. Smoke mixes up with air & pollutes our environment if the chimney is not very tall . A tall chimney can minimize the harmful effect of smoke in the environment. When the chimney is high enough smoke that comes out vanishes in the steam & it can not pollute the environment as it does when the chimney is low. Again, in the brickfield there work children aged 10 to 15 years, though it is very risky. It is want of food that compels those children to do hard work while it is time to study & play. The owners of the brickfields are making money, showing no concern for the future of those poor children. The owners should look into the matter.
