Plant trees around our home and in our community that can help to reduce air pollutants.

12. Preventive measures for Water Pollution Sewage disposal is the main cause of water pollution in big cities. One should take care of proper disposal of sewage. Sewage should be released to water only after treatment. Industrial effluents should be released into water bodies only after proper treatment.
