Local authorities also have a bit of their role here to enforce such regulation.Biological control should be developed and promoted in agriculture to relinquish the use of harmful pesticides, fungicides and herbicides.Agencies should be organized to monitor and ensure conservation of marine resources. Pollution explosion should be on the check through scientific, administrative and social measures.In conclusion, pollution has greatly contributed to many environmental anomaly and pose great threat to human health. Effective control measures can make our environment free from pollution
