ESSAY ON ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION
The issue of pollution is one of the most relevant problems that troubles us.
daily as it has been affecting our environment, in fact, we contribute to this
pollution, which could trigger the destruction of our planet. In this research
it will discuss environmental pollution, its causes, its consequences, and possible solutions
solutions... what is sought through this essay is to raise environmental awareness in society.
Mexico is a country that is in serious danger of contamination not only of its environment.

from oil companies such as PEMEX, which is continually contaminating our
the sea by dumping crude oil into its waters affecting the marine fauna, as well as the burning second to
second from gases causing air pollution, on the other hand, the contamination of its soil with
large amounts of garbage affecting the environment and producing many diseases that are
cause of mortality for many people. Our nature is affected daily by elements

Water is essential for our life, but the water we drink daily is contaminated.
with mineral waste coming from the mining companies of our neighboring country Ecuador, such as arsenic,
mercury, lead, that are thrown into the rivers. The use of pesticides and agricultural fertilizers, the waste
industry, all of this produces the contamination of our rivers. Also daily our soils
they are being contaminated by chemicals and garbage, the chemicals can be of type
industrial or domestic, whether through liquid waste, such as household wastewater, or

due to air pollution when it rains. Among the main soil pollutants we have the
waste, the indiscriminate cutting down of our trees. Our forests are fading away and with them all the
species that inhabit them; many inhabitants cut down and burn trees to sell charcoal, without that
the authorities find a solution to this problem. This activity has been causing the depredation of
our flora and fauna. That is to say, life is ending in our rural areas, another activity that
The practice in these rural areas is the hunting of monkeys, wild birds such as parrots, different kinds of
birds, those that are marketed for different places in the world, also jeopardizing with
our ecology and environment.
The consequences of this pollution are many and malign. Thus, we have that the emissions
from burning gases and vehicle emissions due to the presence of carbon dioxide and sulfur,
nitrogen dioxide, are very harmful agents to health, causing irritation of the eyes, nose,
throat, up to chronic respiratory infections, such as bronchitis and pneumonia, lung cancer,
cardiac problems and even brain damage and in the nervous system. Environmental pollution
represents one of the most severe threats to the child population in urban centers.
For example, another consequence is the weakening of sperm in men due to deficiency.

A serious consequence is the great extinction of marine species in our region, thus we have the death of
dolphins, pelicans, sea lions that have stranded in large numbers on the shores of our sea and
all our coastline, caused by water pollution in our sea for various reasons,
greatly harming the only source of work for many people who are dedicated to the activity

with the emission of pollutants, such as carbon dioxide, burning of fuels or the
tree felling, etc., is very alarming, as the accumulation of this gas, along with others, traps the
solar radiation near the Earth's surface, causing global warming, called effect
greenhouse; this effect could raise sea levels enough to flood coastal cities in
low areas and river deltas. It would also disrupt agricultural production and fishing due to pollution
from the waters of the sea, depredation of our biodiversity and especially for human life.
It is very important for the population to become aware of all the effects that it produces.
environmental pollution and the pollution of rivers, seas, soils, and the environment, which affects everyone
our planet. Authorities, in particular, must take the terrible issues more seriously
consequences for life around the world that is in latent danger from all causes
they produce this pollution and take charge of providing an immediate solution, the same goes for everyone
we contribute to gradually reducing these problems that cause the no
care for our environment.
As educators, we encourage the care of our health, not throwing trash outdoors, not
burn tires or utensils that can be sources of pollution. Do not throw into the waters of rivers
leftovers when washing, etc., in one way or another contribute to preventing pollution in this way
we take care of our health and our beloved planet earth.
