The EU started early with its air policy to protect human health and the environment.In 2015, pollution killed 9 million people worldwide. Major forms of pollution include air pollution, light pollution, litter, noise pollution, plastic pollution, soil contamination, radioactive contamination, thermal pollution, visual pollution, and water pollution.National Pollution Control Day is observed on 2 December to raise awareness about the problem caused by increasing pollution. No doubt. pollution is a major problem facing the whole world these days. It is necessary to take some measures and combat it. Let us read about National Pollution Control Day, why is it celebrated on 2 December and what are the measures taken by the Government to reduce pollution.The main objective is to make people aware, spread awareness in the industries that cause various pollution like water, air, soil, noise and affect the environment and obviously health.

It is also important to give knowledge to the people regarding pollution so that a better or clean environment can be formed. The Government in India had made various laws to combat pollution like in Delhi decreases vehicles running on the road, implemented odd and even.
