EDITORS COMMENTS

"Unveiling the Dark Veil: A Glimpse into Our Polluted World" The Punch cartoon from yesteryears shows Faraday, a renowned scientist, handing his card to Father Thames, symbolizing the polluted state of our rivers and water bodies. In the era of silent highwaymen, pollution silently crept into every corner of our lives, leaving its mark on both nature and society. An oil refinery at night stands as a haunting reminder of how industrialization has contributed to environmental degradation. The Strandline plastic litter in Freshwater West serves as an alarming testament to the devastating impact of plastic waste on coastal ecosystems. "Dirty Father Thames 1848" depicts the river's sorry state during that time when it was heavily contaminated with sewage and industrial waste. Amidst smog-filled air at Smithfield Market in London, a porter struggles through his daily routine, highlighting how pollution affects even those who work tirelessly for their livelihoods. Bankside Power Station looms large over South London—a towering symbol of energy production but also a source of pollution that plagues nearby communities. Industrial power stations like Cegb London have become synonymous with pollution due to their emissions and contribution to climate change. "Under Windsor Bridge on the Irwell, " painted in 1912 by Manchester artist captures an image tainted by oil spills—an early indication of man-made contamination affecting natural beauty. Laguna Miluni's contamination due to mine effluent reveals how human activities can irreversibly damage delicate ecosystems while drought exacerbates its already low water levels. Oxford Road in Manchester depicted in 1910 showcases urban pollution—smokestacks belching smoke into the sky amidst bustling city life—a stark reminder that progress often comes at an environmental cost
