• Arsenic: used in making electrical circuits. It is classified as a carcinogic. 
• Asbestos: is a material that was once used for the insulation of buildings Inhalation of asbestos fibers can lead to lung cancer and asbestosis. 
• Cadmium: is found in batteries and plastics. It can cause processes irritation of the digestive track, and kdney diseaese. 
• Chromium: is used as brick lining for high-temperature industrial furnaces It is known to cause cancer, chronic bronchitis and damage lung tissue. 
• Clinical wastes: such as syringes and medication bottles lead to a variety of illnesses;
• Cyanide: a poison found in some pesticides and rodenticides. In large doses it can lead to paralysis, covulsions, and respiratory distress; 
• Lead: is found in batteries, paints, and ammunation. When ingested or inhaled can cause harm to the nervous and reproductive systems, and kidneys;
• Mercury: used for dental fillings and batteries. Exposure can lead to birth defects and kidney and brain damage;
• PCBs, or polychlorinated biphenyls, are used in many manufacturing processes. Damage can occur through exposure, affecting the nervous, reproductive, and immune systems, as well as the liver. 
• POPs, persistent organic pollutants. They are found in chemicals and pesticides, and may lead to nervous and reproductive system defects. They can persist in the environment and be moved great distances through the atmosphere. 
• Strong acids and alkalis used in manufacturing and industrial production. They can destroy tissue and cause internal damage to the body.

Unfortunately, sometimes it doesn't happen.
An example are all the so called poison ships, ships that unload all the garbage in the sea, causing a terrible sea pollution.
An example closer to us is what happened next to Naples, the "terra dei fuochi", where all the toxic waste for years has been buried under the soil, infecting water, animals and plants.]]> 2017-05-09 12:14:19 UTC https://padlet.com/poseidone2901/dank8rc7az02/wish/170735269 tommaso_polli https://padlet.com/poseidone2901/dank8rc7az02/wish/170738683 A solution to all this is to reuse all the materials that are involved in this processes. Chlorine can be used for swimming pool, and the metals used in particular alloys. Scientist are still looking for a solution. 
It's an hope of all the world to find a way to end this as soon as possible.]]> 2017-05-09 12:28:22 UTC https://padlet.com/poseidone2901/dank8rc7az02/wish/170738683
