What are the effects of different pollutions?
air pollution causes lung in fections, broncyties,and oter
serious problems.
water pollution leads to to disease called
cholara,thyphoid,malaria etc.
sound pollution affects our ears....
Our health is deteriorated as result of emission of carbon
dioxide from the vehicles, and sulfur dioxide
and nitroxide from industries. These gases are often trapped in
the city, creating smog that could
worsen asthma, impair lung function, and even cause death.
Increasing pollutants such as carbon dioxide
and chlorofluorocarbon can cause global warming and depletion in
the ozone layer. When ozone layer is
depleted, more UV rays can penetrate to our atmosphere, thus
causing skin cancers. In fact, statistics
show that there is about ten percent increase in skin cancer
rate in the world since 1995. In addition,
much of our groundwater is being polluted because farmers use
chemical fertilizes, pesticides, and
herbicides to raise their crops. These chemicals can seep easily
from the farmland to the groundwater,
causing diseases to us.
It is not just we are affected by pollution; animals and plants
are also affected by pollution. Animals
and plants would become dehydrated from the extreme heat. Ice
would melt more quickly, destructing
the habitat of polar bears. Fish and other marine animals would
die from oil leakage and the presence
of untreated sewage in the sea.
