Solution to air pollution

Most people agree that to curb global warming, a variety of (1) need to be

taken On a personal level, driving and flying less, recycling, and conservation reduces a

person’s “carbon footprint” - the amount of carbon dioxide a person is (2) for

putting into the atmosphere

On a larger scale, governments are taking measures to limit (3) of carbon

dioxide and other greenhouse gases The Paris Agreement, a voluntary agreement

among 118 nations ratified on November 4, 2016, is one effort being enacted on a global

scale to combat (4) change As a part of the agreement, each country agreed

to take measures to combat climate change, with the ultimate goal of keeping the

taxes on carbon emissions or higher taxes on gasoline, so that individuals and

(5) will have greater incentives to conserve energy and pollute less

one extra)

1 Effect on health of humans

2 Effect on growth of plants

3 Decreased soil fertility

4 Toxic dust

5 Changes in temperature

6 Changes in soil structure

Effects of Soil Pollution

1 .: Considering how soil is the reason we are able

to sustain ourselves, the contamination of it has major consequences on our health

Crops and plants grown on polluted soil absorb much of the pollution and then pass

these on to us This could explain the sudden surge in small and terminal illnesses

2 .: The ecological balance of any system gets

affected due to the widespread contamination of the soil Most plants are unable to

adapt when the chemistry of the soil changes so radically in a short period of time Fungi

WEEK 2

and bacteria found in the soil that bind it together begin to decline, which creates an

additional problem of soil erosion

3 .: The toxic chemicals present in the soil can

decrease soil fertility and therefore decrease in the soil yield The contaminated soil is

then used to produce fruits and vegetables which lacks quality nutrients and may contain

some poisonous substance to cause serious health problems in people consuming them

4 .: The emission of toxic and foul gases from

landfills pollutes the environment and causes serious effects on health of some people

The unpleasant smell causes inconvenience to other people

5 .: The death of many soil organisms (e.g

earthworms) in the soil can lead to alteration in soil structure Apart from that, it could

also force other predators to move to other places in search of food

Exercise 4: Read and answer the questions.

Water pollution is a major global problem which requires ongoing evaluation and

revision of water resource policy at all levels It has been suggested that water pollution

is the leading worldwide cause of deaths and diseases, and that it accounts for the

deaths of more than 14,000 people daily An estimated 580 people in India die of water

pollution related illness every day About 90 percent of the water in the cities of China is

polluted As of 2007, half a billion Chinese had no access to safe drinking water In

addition to the acute problems of water pollution in developing countries, developed

countries also continue to struggle with pollution problems For example, in the most

recent national report on water quality in the United States, 44 percent of assessed

stream miles, 64 percent of assessed lake acres, and 30 percent of assessed bays and

estuarine square miles were classified as polluted The head of China’s national

development agency said in 2007 that one quarter the length of China’s seven main

rivers were so poisoned the water harmed the skin

Water is typically referred to as polluted when it is impaired by anthropogenic

contaminants and either does not support a human use, such as drinking water, or

undergoes a marked shift in its ability to support its constituent biotic communities, such

as fish Natural phenomena such as volcanoes, algae blooms, storms, and earthquakes

also cause major changes in water quality and the ecological status of water

1 What is the leading worldwide cause of deaths and diseases?

Exercise 5: Look at the picture, answer the questions Then practise asking

and answering questions in oral speech.
