Environmental Pollution And Its Effects On The Country Of Indonesia

Water pollution has become a major problem in our water sources. People think that when they litter or dump in our waters that their little contribution will not hurt anything, but everyone’s little contributions add up to some major problems. Our water ecosystems and the species that reside in them are being destroyed and we need to take the steps necessary to stop this. Why would anyone use the source of most of the world’s food as a dumping ground for garbage? People need to start realizing what it is they are doing when they do not take the proper steps to dispose of their garbage and the problems they are making for the future.

North America is not the only area that is affected by pollution. The greenhouse effect, pollution-related health issues, and several forms of pollution exist globally and harm nations worldwide. For example, ocean pollution impacts any region that has a coast. Every square mile of Earth 's oceans has been affected by human pollution, and roughly 40% of marine ecosystems, such as lagoons and coral reefs, have been damaged from human pollution. This type of ocean pollution can include over-fishing, poaching, and greenhouse gases.4 Informing the general population about the harmfulness and spread of ocean pollution is a vital step in the process of ending it.

Coming from this statement, we come to realize some of the life-threatening effects of surface water pollution. A lot of the countries who rely heavily on seafoods are at a greater risk of being affected. Another effect that this can possibly have is for people who use their nearby rivers for drinking water. In many developing countries, people turn to rivers or wells for drinking water. These rivers may be filled with pollutants, but since people are thirsty, they will have no choice but to drink from there without knowledge of how these pollutant-filled waters can greatly affect their

Kiener’s fear that toxins might be passed on to humans who eat contaminated marine life is a realistic fear when considering the health effects of mercury pollution. His theory that water pollution affects humans who eat contaminated marine life is very reliable knowing that unborn babies and children are having health effects from mercury contaminated marine life consumed by pregnant women (Kiener). Pollution has a lot of different known economic impacts, but it also has an impact on human's life longevity and the quality of life due to the exposure of contaminated foods. Water pollution is contaminating marine life who ingest toxins, which in return is resulting in negative nervous system effects on humans who consume the fish primarily on children and unborn babies. This ultimately might cause many unborn babies and young children to suffer through illness, which impacts humans life longevity and quality of life because mercury pollution targets the young population due to unborn babies and children's lack of nervous system development. The Earth’s food pollution problem is not the only issue impacting human health, but so is the polluted water

Environmental pollution is a trouble both in advanced and growing international locations. elements such aspopulation boom and urbanization invariably place greater needs on the earth and stretch using natural sources to the most.

Due to improper disposal of sewage, water waste products from our homes, oils companies, and industrial waste companies to name a few water pollution is one of the most imperative environmental concerns to date. Pollutants such as lead, oils, nitrates, phosphates, and mercury get into our bodies of waters immediately impacting our marine life such as the fish people eat, mammals and birds as well. These pollutants also end.up into the water systems within our households, oftentimes, due to improper filtration systems or simply old pipes. Which leaves millions— even billions of civilians and animals ill or deceased yearly.

the residents, including residents in nearby towns that may rely on the company for employment. Individuals and communities are further victimized in cases of pollution due to the damage to our eco-system. Pollution damages living and non living elements of the eco-system and resources are impacted by pollution. Furthermore the wildlife and even family pets are impacted which in turn re victimizes the individual people (given the limited definitions to consider nature and wildlife "victims").

Pollution is everywhere! People even pollute without even knowing it. They simply throw their soda can on the ground, or even as small as throwing their cigarette on the ground. The point is that pollution is terrible and it needs to be stopped. I already knew that pollution was around. In fact, it's been around since about 1948, but of course that is only when smog came and pollution got very bad. Pollution has been around many years before 1948. I wanted to find as many possible ways to lower the pollution numbers, so I decided to look into it a bit more. I saw a few interesting facts and wanted more, a ton more. I now know multiple ways to stop pollution and a few ways to prevent it. I still had a few question about pollution. For example, what does pollution even mean? Is it true that pollution can increase the risk of skin cancer? And most importantly, how can our society solve the problem of pollution? I was reading many articles to find out he answers to my questions. I think that unfortunately, this problem will not be fixed, but it can be minimized. I don't think this problem will stop because people litter, they smoke, burn fires from coal, and factories blow a ton of smoke. With the population growing and more people polluting, I think that this problem can only be decreased, not stopped.

Pollution has always been a major problem around the world. One of the most detrimental and harmful types of pollution is water pollution. Most people blow it off and do not really think of how dangerous water pollution really is. Some still do not believe that water pollution is a serious problem because of how big the oceans are. They believe that because the world is mostly oceans, there is no way we can run out good, clean water. Arvind Kumar, a member of the Indian Council of Agricultural Research, states in his book, Biomonitoring of Sewage Pollution, that “The belief that aquatic resources which cover about 70% of the total surface of the globe will never become extinct and will support the ever increasing demophoric growth is becoming paradoxical and ‘malthusian pessimism’ still prevails in the world” (1). As the population continues to grow, so will the demand for more food and water. Over time, the water will become so polluted in all bodies of water from streams, lakes, and oceans, that even running it through purifiers may not make it safe enough to drink. Drinking and swimming in polluted water is dangerous and can have harmful side effects. Water pollution is not only harmful to humans, but to the aquatic ecosystems and the animals that surround and live in them in both, fresh and salt water ecosystems. There are many causes of water pollution, but the two main causes of water pollution are wastewater and plastic pollution. In order to save the water getting

If I had to be honest, I'd have to say that I had forgotten all about the problem with plastic in our oceans. with all the problems going on in the world I had forgotten about our world’s health. The most important thing that is keeping us all existent. this article has opened my eyes to what everyone else was ignoring.

Pollution and Environmental Degradation are things that the large majority of humans contributes to some small or large way on the daily. Whether it is our mode of transportation, throwing a piece of trash on the ground, buying products made from trees, and to be perfectly honest the concentration in which we live, by which I mean the proximity of the average residents in which we reside. These all seem like regular everyday things that are just normal. But in the past things like these were so beyond the norm that they would seem alien and impossible.

Pollution is referred to the presence in the atmosphere of any chemical, physical or biological agents harmful to health or well-being, animal or plant life. This degradation of the environment by an external contaminant can cause damage to the everyday life of human beings and alter the conditions of survival of flora and fauna.

Pollution is a very wide-use term that means the introduction of contaminants that cause a negative change into a natural environment. It englobes all sort of contaminations such as air contaminants, water contaminants, solid contaminants on soil and a lot more. As we can see in the World Wild Life website, pollution is a very important issue he have and that we have to fix as soon as possible. There are even natural substances considered as pollutants once they exceed natural levels in a certain area.

The environment is always facing sudden changes due to natural forces like the eruption of volcanic and earthquakes. However human activities have in the recent times being blamed as the major contributor to the majority of the environmental problems that there are today. Among the numerous environmental issues is pollution. Human activities have been solely responsible for soil, water, and air pollution that has made the entire environment polluted thus becoming a health hazard to all animals, plants, and people living in it. This is because all living things whether plants or animals depends on water, soils and air for survival.

Currently, the environment and the resources of the Philippines are depleting because of “overfishing, destructive fishing, sedimentation and disposal of untreated waste” (Parras, 2001).
