Air pollution is a cause of ill-health in human beings. In a lot of countries there are laws limiting the

of smoke in the atmosphere, doctors have proved that air pollution causes lung diseases.
The gases from the exhausts of cars have also increased air pollution in most cities. The lead in petrol
produces a poisonous gas which often collects in busy streets surrounded by high buildings. Children
who live in areas where there is a lot of lead in the atmosphere cannot think as quickly as other children
and they are clumsy when they use their hands.
There are other long-term effects of pollution. If the gases in the atmosphere continue to increase,
the earth’s climate may become warmer. A lot of the ice near the Poles may melt and may cause serious
floods.

What can be done to stop this pollution? Surprisingly, a person can help save the environment by doing
simple things.

to place plastic and glass bottles, aluminum cans and paper in a bin. Anyone can do it.
Second, we need to watch the amount of water used at home. It can be conserved by taking short
showers instead of baths, repairing leaky faucets, using the dishwasher or washing machine only when
fully loaded, or simply turning the faucet off while brushing your teeth.

this waste effectively. For example, grass clippings and food scraps can be made into compost for plants.

What can be done to stop this pollution? Surprisingly, a person can help save the environment by
doing simple things.
First, we need to recycle, which allows products to be used over and over again. Recycling can
also reduce the number of trees cut down to produce paper products. It takes very little effort. It is
not hard to place plastic and glass bottles, aluminum cans and paper in a bin. Anyone can do it.
Second, we need to watch the amount of water used in the home. It can be conserved by taking
short showers instead of baths, repairing leaky faucets, using the dishwasher or washing machine only
when fully loaded, or simply turning the faucet off while brushing your teeth.
Third, we need to reduce waste. We need to recycle whenever possible, but should also try to use
this waste effectively. For example, grass clippings and food scraps can be made into compost for
plants. The average person produces 4.3 pounds of waste every day, but we can reduce that amount
by recycling and reusing.
If we do our part in our own homes, we can help keep the planet from becoming more polluted.

species, destruction of natural habitat, damage caused to the quality of soil, water and air ..
