"How does pollution affect our lives? What can be done about it?"
Excessive
noise, developed industry and mining, traffic jams, exhaust fumes and lack of nature
preservation lead to destruction of our world. Unfortunately, it also affects our lives in
a very serious way. Every day we are exposed to various kinds of perils. Some of those
factors cause serious ailments, which are called civilization sickness.
A big part of scientists is convinced that many kinds of cancer are caused by
contamination of our environment. Increased extent of UV radiation, caused by the ozone
hole can lead to some very dangerous genetic mutations. Poisoned water supplies, rivers
and even oceans have influence on our health. Can you imagine that average human, who live
in an well-industrialized place consumes two times more dangerous elements of heavy metals
than it was provided in international norms? Also stress that is caused by excessive noise
has a very bad impact on our live.
What we can do to improve our conditions, to prevent pollution and progressive
degeneration of our environment? It is a good question. Many of scientists and also many
of ordinary people are trying to convince authorities to improve wide comprehended nature
preservation, to install special filters to reduce toxicity of industrial fumes, to fit
cars with catalytic converters, to improve methods of storing and processing garbage, and
etc. In my opinion, if everybody cared about his closed surroundings, it would be the best
way to prevent pollution.
