UNHEALTHY ENVIRONMENT

ISSUES

RESARCH

Mainly, I researched about two kinds of pollution which are water and noise.

  1. Water pollution

    2. Poor water supply and poor sanitation causes 2.7 million deaths each year in the world.

    -Types disease-causing agents, organic chemical, heat etc.

    -Causes landfill, buried gasoline, septic tank, sewer, etc.

    -What you can do not to threw out oil, milk and soup into sinks, use filter for drinking water etc.

  2. Noise pollution

Noise attribute 10 million people hearing impairments in the U.S..

-Causes outside?airplane, neighborhood, factory, traffic, lawn mowers etc.

inside?dishwashers, washing machines, televisions, stereos etc.

-Effects hearing loss, physiological effects in the body (ex. increasing the heart rate, dilating the pupils etc), and psychological stress

-What you can do produce less noise and put up shields like earplugs

THOUGHTS

  1. Water pollution

    2. The news like the one above, dropping human waste from a plane, rarely happens, but it shows that some people don’t care about other people very much. Therefore, it is necessary to educate people to think about other people, and later you will learn about the pollution and how you can cooperate with it. This problem affects not only the person who causes it but everyone on the earth, so every single person has to cooperate to reduce the pollution. Small things what you try does a lot such as using less cleanser, shampoo, and laundry soap. Many a little makes a mickle, right?

  2. Noise pollution

We live in the environment which is surrounded by lots of noise, and you can’t think of any big city which doesn’t have noise problem, can you? A man in the article talked about airplane and said, “You know it will come but you don’t know when, and I can’t stop it or escape from it”. What a sad situation, isn’t it? Governments should regulates areas where you can build houses and where you cannot. One of the interesting thing from this research was the point that noise pollution doesn’t come from only outside of the house, but it comes from inside as well. Some people might not notice about hearing too much noise inside the house but we should do our best to reduce noise that we ourselves make for our own health.
