In Ankara, as in many other cities and countries around the world, pollution is a severe problem that requires attention. Pollution can have very different types that can be harmful to both the environment and the health of living organisms.

So both of this problems also have an impact on the environment as a whole.
Urban areas in Ankara has these kinds of problems too. Residents on that areas face the issue of noise pollution from buildings, traffic, and other loud activities. Stress, disturbed sleep, and even hearing loss are also consequences of excessive voice.

Investing in electric vehicles, increasing carpooling, and encouraging the use of public transportation can all help lower air pollution. Water contamination can be addressed by establishing stronger laws controlling the release of industrial waste and improving wastewater treatment facilities. For land pollution solutions can be planting more trees, reusing materials, and cutting down on the use of pesticide. Limitations on loud activities and other noise reduction techniques, such sound barriers, can assist in the fight against noise pollution. Campaigns for environmental awareness and education can also be quite effective in motivating people to adopt sustainable lifestyles and to be more aware of their effect on the environment.
It is essential that people and the community cooperate to change the course, make a difference and thus defeat all kinds of pollution. If all of the citizens are aware of the problem and takes the necessary precautions, this problem can be solved step by step.
