Pollution - is the result of the exponential growth and development of the people. Anyway, it degrades the quality of human life and creates an imbalance in the environment.
Pollution - is the result of progress
and development that occurs on a regular basis. Rapidly developing technology
to improve the quality of human life. All this, of course, provides a high
level of comfort and a rich life for all people, but significantly reduces the
quality of human health, the need to have a good and healthy environment is
ignored.
Many new inventions and innovations
are a threat to human life, as they are created artificially. This artificial
and unsystematic way to ensure the best conditions for life creates components
necessary for human life. Whatever thing we did not take, whether things are
essentials such as clothing or food, they are now produced synthetically. However,
only one's gaze on the environment in order to understand that the increase in
the needs of the modern way of life ultimately disrupts the balance in the
environment.
The following are the most common
types of environmental pollution, which gradually cause various diseases in
humans.
Noise
pollution
Any noise that is unpleasant to the
human ear is noise pollution. Loud and harsh sounds of factories, machinery,
trains, cars, bursting from heat and explosions are also noise pollution. It is
also caused by some natural disasters, such as hurricanes and volcanic
eruptions. Both natural and anthropogenic factors that create noise and sound
pollution, impact on human health. They cause irritation, hearing problems and
headaches. But that's not the main problem, because quite unbearable sounds can
be very dangerous, because due to their increased cholesterol, narrowed
arteries, increasing the adrenaline rush heartbeat quickens. All these factors
are life-threatening, because they can lead to heart attack and stroke.
Water
pollution
Any harmful ingredients and
substances that fall into one or another water body, such as rivers, oceans,
ponds, reservoirs and streams, contaminate water. Many human activities such as
laundry, dry cleaning and waste dumping and contribute significantly to water
pollution. Soap and detergents that we use every day, also made from harmful
chemicals and synthetic materials, which are very heavily pollute the water. In
addition, discarded waste: cans, bottles and plastic materials are also
dangerous. It not only destroys marine life, but also dangerous to human life. This
contaminated water is undrinkable, use in agriculture and even in industry.
Atmospheric
pollution
Air pollution caused by emission of
harmful substances into the atmosphere. One key factor is the pollution of car
exhausts. With the advancement of technology, the number of vehicles on the
roads increases extremely, which ultimately increases the level of air
pollution. Not to mention the fact that the various industries such as cement,
steel, coal mining, petrochemical and power plants also produce harmful
substances are released into the atmosphere. This type of pollution is harmful
to the protective ozone layer in the atmosphere. This layer protects the earth
from harmful ultraviolet rays, and its refinement entails a threat to human
life.
Radio contamination
Radioactive contamination is rare,
but it does great harm. It is caused by accidents that have occurred at nuclear
power plants, the improper disposal of nuclear waste, works for uranium mines. Radioactive
contamination causes cancer, multiple congenital abnormalities and many other
serious health problems.
Soil
contamination
Today, agriculture uses many artificial
substances and synthetic pesticides. They emit pollutants that create an
imbalance in the soil, and also interfere with the natural growth of plants
grown in contaminated soil. A key factor contributing to the pollution of the
soil - it gutters, noxious wastes, poor agricultural practices, the use of
inorganic pesticides, deforestation, open pit mining and human activities such
as waste dumping and littering
