Abstract

Environmental problems are getting worse as the industrialization of the social system develops. Due to the severity of the problem of environmental pollution, in accordance with the goals of sustainable development, methods with indicators are used to report and measure the environmental performance of companies and industrial regions to compare environmental efficiency with the economic efficiency of their activities. Environmental pollution is not a new phenomenon, but it remains the greatest global challenge facing humanity and a leading environmental cause of morbidity and mortality. Human activities associated with urbanization, industrialization, mining and exploration are at the forefront of global environmental pollution. Developed and developing countries share this burden together, although awareness and stricter laws in developed countries contribute more to protecting the environment within their territories. Despite global attention to pollution, its impact is still felt due to its serious long-term consequences. The purpose of this work is to display the severity of the problem of environmental pollution, in particular, water pollution, air pollution, radioactive pollution, noise pollution. Pollution of our planet is one of the most pressing problems and its solution must come first, since practice shows the negative impact of pollution on people and their health, animals and the planet as a whole. When writing the article, materials and methods obtained from studying scientific works were used.
