Pollution: a Social Problem
Pollution: a Social Problem
When we read newspapers, we often come across the word pollution. This word was not familiar to the people some decades ago. But now, it is a serious threat to us because.it means the poisoning of the air, seas, rivers and lands, which would do harm to our health.
There are many factories that bring pollution to us. We can not have fresh air in the morning. This is mainly because of the poisonous smoke coming from factories, especially chemical ones. In rivers, seas and oceans, there are industrial wastes. Some factories just throw their wastes into seas or let them flow into rivers. When people drink the water from such rivers, they get poisoned. Besides, there is rubbish from ships and when sometimes an accident occurs in an ocean, oil flows out from tankers.
On land, the accumulation of rubbish in the streets may dirty the city and ruin our health. This is mainly due to the improper disposal of rubbish by people.
If we do mot fight against pollution, surely one day all of us will be killed. Some people like to put the blame on the industrial revolutions. On the contrary, the pollution problem will be solved only with the help of modem science and technology.
污染——一個(gè)社會(huì)問(wèn)題
我們看報(bào)的時(shí)候,經(jīng)常會(huì)看到“污染”這個(gè)詞。這個(gè)詞對(duì)于幾十年前的人來(lái)說(shuō)并不熟悉。然而對(duì)于我們來(lái)說(shuō),它是一個(gè)嚴(yán)重的威脅,因?yàn)樗馕吨：諝狻⒑Ｑ蟆⒑恿骱屯恋?進(jìn)而對(duì)我們?cè)斐蓚Α?br/> 有很多工廠給我們帶來(lái)了污染。早上我們呼吸不到新鮮的空氣。這主要是因?yàn)檫@些工廠里排放出有毒的氣體,尤其是化工廠。在江河湖海里到處都有工業(yè)垃圾。一些工廠把廢棄物排放到江河和海洋里。人們喝了這里面的水就會(huì)中毒。除此之外,還有從船上扔下來(lái)的垃圾和海洋里發(fā)生事故的船只流出來(lái)的油。
