EFFECT OF SPACE POLLUTION ON ENVIRONMENT AND HUMAN HEALTH

The problem of waste is now being felt in space as well as on earth. There is so much rubbish growing around the earth in space that a mission has to be launched for it. Scientists estimate that there is 7600 tons of space waste around the earth. If a small piece of debris hits a satellite in space, it could split into thousands of pieces. Not only is that, but the speed of the satellite in danger of increasing to 25000 kilometers per hour. Fragments of satellites orbiting in space at this speed can be dangerous to other satellites. It is better not to think about what will happen if these pieces hit a human spacecraft. In the current age of science and technology, the rate of launching satellites into space has increased rapidly. Private companies have also started sending satellites. Rockets and their components needed to launch a satellite into space do not usually return to Earth. They revolve around the earth. So naturally, the more rockets go into space, the more waste there will be. It usually lasts 10 to 15 years after launching a satellite into space. After that it fails. But it keeps moving in space. Moreover, some satellites fail after going into space. So they are also moving. So the more satellites go into space, the greater the risk. For this, the whole world needs to think of the future and take concrete steps
