THE TEXT
Environmental pollution is one
of the largest problems in our
today’s world. It can be defined
as a contamination of air, water
and land from man-made waste.
Nowadays there aren’t any cities
and hardly any rural areas that
remain clean and unpolluted.

12.

There are a lot of different types
of pollution among which the
most recognized are air and
water pollution, soil and
radioactive contamination,
littering, noise, light and
thermal pollution.
Unfortunately, most of the
problems are the result of
human activities. Indeed, the
contradictions between man
and nature are on a high level.

13.

People cut down forests and thus damage thousands of acres of land. First of all, the
soil can be easily blown away and secondly, even if new trees are planted, they can’t
bring back the old forests that were a part of a complex ecosystem that cleaned the air
and made home for wildlife.

14.

Big industrial cities produce a lot
of waste every day. It’s either
thrown away or dug up which
leads to the releasing of dangerous
chemicals into the soil. Very often
toxic or poisonous liquid chemicals
are poured into the water therefore
people’s health is put at risk.
However, they are themselves
responsible for this.

15.

Water and air
pollution are
also a serious
threat to our
environment.
The main
factors
contributing
to them are car
fumes, oil spills,
throwing litter
and many
others. Polluted
air and water
affect people’s
health to such
an extent that
millions of them
have got no
access to safe
drinking water.

16.

In conclusion, it must be said that if we want to live in a better and healthier world we
should take great care of our mother nature and learn to protect it.
