Pollution is the presence of any substance in air, water, soil, or food which threatens the health of human, animal and plant life.

Pollution, also called environmental pollution, the addition of any substance (solid, liquid, or gas) or any form of energy (such as heat, sound, or radioactivity) to the environment at a rate faster than it can be dispersed, diluted, decomposed, recycled, or stored in some harmless form. ]]> 2020-09-18 01:18:11 UTC https://padlet.com/imelda9520/kuxgg94qiln89gak/wish/757472386 Types of pollution: imelda9520 https://padlet.com/imelda9520/kuxgg94qiln89gak/wish/760546769 1. Environmental pollution: consists of the release of chemical substances into the atmosphere, which alter its composition and pose a risk to the health of people and living beings.

2.  Water Pollution: : It exists with the presence of wastes in the water. Pollution in the seas, rivers and lakes has become a source of infections and diseases for humans.

3.  Chemical pollution: a certain chemical compound is introduced into the aforementioned media. Pollution can be found in materials essential for human life, such as water, land, food, air

4. Radioactive pollution: It refers to that derived from the dispersion of radioactive materials, such as enriched uranium, which is used in medical or research facilities, nuclear reactors of power plants, ammunition armored with metal alloyed with uranium, submarines, artificial satellites, etc.

5. Thermal contamination: It occurs due to the emission of fluids at high temperature and is caused by human influence.
Etc.

-  Pollution is produced by fumes from car exhaust pipes and factory chimneys, from burning garbage, from industrial dusts (cement, plaster, mineral concentrates, from forest fires and volcanic eruptions.

- Some causes are due to the dumping of solid domestic (non-hazardous waste) and industrial waste, oil spills and the discharge of used oils. 

-  Radioactive pollution can be caused by an accident (such as the one at Chernobyl), by use, and by the deliberate disposal of radioactive waste.

It is about modifying habits little by little to help reduce what we pollute. These are some tips:

Consume ecological products: for the production of ecological products the use of chemical elements that can harm the environment is avoided.

Recycle: we are usually clear about where to dispose of containers or glass, but in many other cases we do not know where to dispose of waste and the first rule of thumb to recycle is to separate.

Reduce the consumption of plastics: We use a lot of plastic and most of it is single use. The average wearing time of a plastic bag is estimated to be 10 minutes and it takes about 400 years to degrade.

Reduces the use of water and electricity: Water is a resource that can be depleted, so it is essential to take care of its use. In the case of electrical energy, it is essential to reduce use by opting for low-consumption appliances.

Avoid products packaged in plastic and go for those that are packaged in paper, cardboard or glass.

China (30%)
The most populous country in the world has a huge export market, which has grown its industry to become a serious danger to the planet.

2. United States (15%)
It is the world's leading industrial and commercial power. Despite the fact that in recent times it has been leading the most important initiatives to combat climate change, in practice the vast majority have proved insufficient.

3. India (7%)
Fourteen of the fifteen most polluted cities in the world are, according to the World Health Organization, in India. The country has a law since 1981 that protects the air.

4. Russia (5%)
The largest country in the world appears in this ranking due to its high dependence on products such as oil, coal, gas and fossil fuels.

5. Japan (4%)
In last place comes the other great Asian power after China. Japan is the world's largest consumer of fossil fuels and the fifth largest emitter of greenhouse gases.]]> 2020-09-19 02:54:09 UTC https://padlet.com/imelda9520/kuxgg94qiln89gak/wish/760649228 imelda9520 https://padlet.com/imelda9520/kuxgg94qiln89gak/wish/761430822 2020-09-20 00:57:18 UTC https://padlet.com/imelda9520/kuxgg94qiln89gak/wish/761430822
