Introduction
Pollution is the introduction of physical, chemical or biological substances that are
harmful to health.
Humans are the main culprit for polluting rivers, oceans, forests, air and the soil.
This problem affects directly the health of all living beings and upsets the balance
of ecosystems.
Every year millions of people die because of the pollution in the water we drink,
the air we breathe and the product of land that we eat.
Currently, the pollution has increased its levels worldwide due to human population
growth, but we still have time to save our planet

ENVIRONMENTAL
POLLUTION
There are three types of environmental pollution, among these are: Water pollution,
human waste and chemical contamination; also, industrial waste pollutes the water
and prevents its purification. Contaminated soil has lost its nutrients due to excessive
deforestation. Air pollution is caused by emissions from vehicles, industries, fossil fuel
burning, constant use of pesticides and sprays, cigarette smoking, etc., all of these
affect the normal development of plants and humans.

The effects of environmental pollution attempt against the life of human beings. It
generates physical damage to people, it produces diseases that are hard to find a
cure for.
Climate change is a reminder of all the damage we are doing to planet earth, for this
reason we must follow certain tips to help the environment.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION

Solutions to avoid further deterioration of our planet are:

Do not burn or cut down trees, control the use of fertilizers and
pesticides, do not throw garbage in inappropriate places, create public
awareness, prevent waste from industries to reach the oceans and
rivers used for service or consumption of humans and animals.

Conclusion

Gradual pollution
is destroying the
health of living
beings.

Population growth
and increment of
industrial waste
alter the
ecosystem .

Environmental
pollution and
climate change
affect the balance
of the planet in
which we live; we
must act now, so
future generations
can enjoy a world
free from
contamination.
