With an exponentially growing human population on the planet, it can not be completely prevented, but there are measures that can be taken to minimize the impacts of our daily lifestyles. Awareness is a key factor and even though one persons' modified actions will not have a sigificant impact, starting at the local scale and moving up to a statewide level, then nationally, leaves the final changes to become global.

To control air pollution:

(i) Particulate matter in the air can be reduced by fitting smoke stacks to factories with electrostatic precipitators, fabric filters and inertial separators.

(ii) Smoke can be reduced by using oil or gas instead of coal in factories or thermal power stations.

To counter noise pollution:

Machinery and equipment can be used and generators should be fitted with silencers.

Almost all machinery can be redesigned to increase energy efficiency and reduce noise.

(ii) Noise absorbing material may be used apart from personal use of earplugs and earphones.

(i) Minimising used water for processing by reusing and recycling it in two or more suggestive stages.

(ii) Harvesting of water can be done to meet water requirements.

(iii) Treating of hot water and effluents before releasing them in rivers and ponds.
