The world is polluted. The air, land and sea are filled with toxins and chemicals, and the water is so polluted the fish no longer swim where they want to be.The Earth is still struggling to recover from its most devastating pollution incident in decades, according to the United Nations Environment Programme’s annual biennium assessment.We have created a Polluted World, in which the pollution levels have reached the highest levels. The cause of the pollution is our consumerism and dependency on technology. We must cut down on waste and become more self sufficient to save our environment. Environmental pollution is a serious issue to consider. Hundreds of people die every day from diseases caused by environmental toxins, which are created by humans and released into the environment. These chemicals act as artificial air pollutants that can cause or exacerbate disease.Pollution is a result of humans, but it does not mean you can’t enjoy the world. The earth is suffering from pollution… Air pollution causes millions of deaths every year, according to scientists. It also puts millions more at risk of disease, affects hundreds of millions of people around the world and costs billions of dollars in hospital bills and lost productivity every year. Air pollution is also estimated to be costing £500 billion a year in economic damages through increases in premature deaths and health care costs. This article aims to tell you about pollution and its effects today. There are thousands of studies that have been done to prove the correlation between environmental pollution and health problems. In fact, there have been many epidemics that were directly caused by the higher level of pollution. One such example is “Polio” which wiped out about 2000 people in Pakistan and Egypt in 1953. This was attributed to a vaccine made from infected polio viruses which had been diluted following an industrial spill into Lake Volta in Ghana. The health of humans and the environment can be dramatically improved by reducing pollution, protecting biodiversity and promoting sustainable practices. However, current advances in technology allow people around the world to enjoy many modern amenities such as air travel, communication and medicine (even if they lead to adverse effects). At the same time these activities are causing profound changes in our physical environment that threaten our future well-being. For example, scientists recently reported that levels of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere rose to a level not seen in millions of years: above 400 parts per million. This increase is at least partially due to industrial activity.Our health affects the planet. It is important to consider both the cause and effect of an action if we are to be responsible in our efforts to protect the environment.
