"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.
