water - __________ Polluted land serves as breeding
places for flies, cockroaches and
rats. These pests carry germs
that cause diseases, hence
hazardous to one's health.
Growing plants is not also
possible in polluted land.
When the material (i.e. water in
the river) is dumped with
garbage of any kind such as
empty bottles, plastics, waste
materials from houses, and
other industrial and chemical
wastes from factories, the river
becomes polluted. If we drink
water contaminated with germs,
we are likely to get
sick/diseases. Polluted water
also kills living organisms, i.e.
fish, water plants, etc.
When the surrounding air is
blanketed with smoke from
factories and motorized
vehicles, ashes and other dust
particles, the air becomes
polluted. Polluted air causes skin
itchiness, lung infections, cancer
and other respiratory diseases.
Some changes in the materials
are harmful to the environment.
It may pollute land, water and
air. To keep our surroundings
clean and to prevent or
minimize pollution in our
environment, people are
encouraged to do the 5R’s
(Reduce, Re-use, and Recycle,
Repair and Rot)
Burning of garbage such as
plastic materials, rubber, and
other waste are harmful also to
the environment. Many items in
household garbage when
burned release dangerous toxic
chemicals. To prevent/minimize
the effect of burning of
garbage/wastes, waste
segregation should be done, and
the 5R’s should be practiced.
Cutting down trees is also
harmful to the environment. It
affects the quality of air that we
breathe. It causes a rapid
change in temperature (the
temperature rises to a
sometimes uncomfortable
level). In addition, when trees
are cut down, rain level is
severely affected (since
moisture in the air could not be
retained by the trees). This, in
turn, changes weather patterns,
which leads to other
environmental concerns. Cutting
down of trees also causes soil
erosion. To solve the problem
on deforestation, planting of
trees (reforestation) should be
done.
