Bad Impact of Dirty Environment and Garbage Pollution on the Environment.
A dirty environment and garbage pollution can have a bad impact on humans and the environment. The bad impact of dirty environment and garbage pollution on the environment itself includes many things and one of them is water pollution. Water pollution can occur when garbage is dumped into rivers instead of in a trash can and this often occurs in areas that are not accessible by the garbage cleaning team such as in remote areas.
Dirty Environment and Pollution of Garbage and Their Bad Impact on Humans.
Not only have a bad impact on the environment, garbage pollution and a dirty environment can also have a bad impact on humans who live in certain environments. For example, waste pollution is known to lead to an increase in various kinds of digestive tract infections, and so on.
This is because with the accumulation of garbage without being disposed of in a proper place, disease-carrying animals such as flies will become more and more and of course, that is not the only bad impact of the dirty environment and pollution on humans.
Dirty Environment and Garbage Pollution and Their Bad Impact on Soil Pollution
This soil pollution comes from household waste, industrial waste and agricultural waste. Garbage is the main pollutant in household waste. We can see trash strewn everywhere. This will have an impact on acid rain that occurs due to industrial activities which cause harmful minerals to be released from their bonds and the pH of the soil to be low. The uncontrolled use of chemical fertilizers causes the soil to lose its nutrients so that the productivity of agricultural land in the area will decrease.
Diseases caused by environmental pollution
- Asthma
Dirty air conditions and contain many harmful substances will increase the risk of asthma. Foreign substances that enter the respiratory tract will interfere with the smooth breathing process. As a result, you are prone to asthma. Some disturbing symptoms such as shortness of breath, coughing, and wheezing are difficult to avoid.
- Lung cancer
Some substances that cause pollution (pollutants) found in the air have cancer-causing (carcinogenic) properties. When these substances accumulate in the lungs, it is more likely that lung cells will develop abnormally.
- Heart health problems
When the air you breathe is dominated by harmful substances, the heart has to work extra hard to collect oxygen for other body organs.
- Typhus
When the air you breathe is dominated by harmful substances, the heart has to work extra hard to collect oxygen for other body organs.
- Decreased Liver and Kidney Function
Decreased liver and kidney function can be caused by soil pollution. Heavy metals that cause soil pollution are very dangerous when they enter the body. Heavy metal contamination will make the liver and kidneys work hard when filtering them so they don’t enter other body organs. Liver and kidney organs that work extra hard will be more easily damaged and can cause death.
- Diarrhea
Bacteria that cause diarrhea can multiply optimally in dirty places. If the dirty water or food enters your body, the bacteria in it will cause diarrhea. Washing your hands properly and eating hygienic food are easy ways that you should do to avoid diarrhea
- Hepatitis A
In addition to diarrhea, hepatitis A virus is also transmitted through dirty water. This virus will interfere with the liver’s function to filter toxins. Hepatitis A virus infection is prone to cause high levels of bilirubin in the blood, nausea, fever, and loss of appetite.
