More than 70% of the Earth's surface covered with water. Although less than 3% of this water is drinkable, it is the support necessary for life on Earth. Water pollution
Is the biggest threat, one of the today's environment.
There are several types of water pollution, sewage and fertilizer on soil erosion. The impact of water pollution on aquatic organisms and terrestrial life could be catastrophic.
The impact of water pollution can include:
Excessive growth of algae and the surface of life, resulting in the loss of light and nutrients deep aquatic organisms
Water depth of aquatic organisms by sedimentation and loss suffocation
Food chain interruption
The spread of water-borne diseases, such as dysentery and typhoid
Water pollution solutions
The best solution for water pollution prevention. Although the pollution of all life on Earth this threat, trying to clean it up,
May cause more damage.
Used to treat or clean up oil spill chemicals might further pollute the water supply. The temperature was adjusted to offset the heating or cooling contamination may not be able to take
Have a proper balance, resulting in more loss of aquatic life.
To prevent the pollution of the water to the level of environmental pollutants, is stopped. This makes the need to begin to correct their own environment and time scientists
To determine the best method to deal with existing problems.
Protection of soil
Erosion is one of the biggest causes of water pollution today. When you take measures to protect the soil, water conservation and water life. Planting of vegetation cover, strict
The grid erosion management and favorable farming methods are just a few of the many possible methods of soil protection.
Proper disposal of toxic chemicals
It's always a good idea, as far as possible the use of low-VOC (volatile organic compounds) products in your home. If you use toxic chemicals
, Such as paint, stains or cleaning supplies, handled properly. The paint can be recycled and reusable oil treatment. Proper disposal of these substances rain
Drains, water and septic tanks.
Maintain the good working order of mechanical
Oil is the biggest one of the contaminated water in the world. It is estimated that only oil transport oil contaminated water to 0.0001%. To take measures to ensure that
You will not increase this problem as soon as they are found in automobiles, machinery repair oil leaks. Clean up the residue and properly handle used oil.
Cleaning up beaches and waterways
Just pick up waste and littering is spotted a long way to go to keep the water of debris and contaminants. Do your part to their own garbage
Waste and you see near a disposal facility.
Avoid plastic in the case of possible
Plastic bags in the ocean is well documented water pollutant. This issue is further worsened when the reusable shopping bag, possibly by changing the
.
Activities and participation
Your home, heat is released into nearby waterways, the coolant or chemicals near a business? You know that soil erosion has discovered a large area
The land? Have you noticed an oil spill or leak? You can get involved. Contact EPA, local authorities, or write to the person in charge of the company's
. Spread an awareness of the problem, is a big blow to their first step.
You can make a difference
Water pollution solutions seems to be too little, too late view, a major oil spill and a floating plastic bag island, they are necessary,
To prevent the growing light of these problems. Simply slow down the speed of the pollution to the environment and scientists to find long-term solutions, water pollution now
The real problem. If you do your part, in your area, in order to prevent contamination, then you can help protect aquatic life.
Industrial air pollution is bad in all major centers. The campaign to clean up the air and did not start seriously until the 1960s, in Christ
City, which is the most seriously affected by smoke. The Clean Air Act of 1972 tried to control industrial pollution emission levels allowed through the issuance of licenses, and
Monitoring of air pollution in the main center. Local authorities to create a clean air zones in Christchurch. The behavior of the formation of slow to less
The legal basis for less pollution from domestic and industrial sources.
Emissions to a rapid increase in the number of private cars in the 1960s, is also a problem. Lead is added to gasoline in the 1920s, to mention
High performance of the engine. Of lead emissions to the 1970s, the car has become the city's major pollutants, especially vulnerable children. New Zealand Earth
Friends of 1980, an event, in addition to leaded gasoline. From 1986 to begin phasing out of lead in gasoline, it took ten years to complete.
A 2007 study estimated that the annual urban air pollution is responsible for approximately 1,100 premature deaths, 1500 extra cases of bronchitis and related diseases
Disease, more than 700 hospitalized, and 1.9 million days, the air pollution limit people's activities. It is estimated that the total cost of about $ 1.14 billion per year.
Early in 2000 to provide clean water and disposal of waste, security is still a problem - as much as possible for the city of New Zealand in the late 1800s. Of
The same water supply and sewage treatment methods - tube and cart away, dump it - is to use, recycling and composting of municipal some shunt. Ecological building
Design and urban areas, waste and water do not pull, push out the website, instead of constantly renewable natural resources, is a choice.
But in the early 21st century, the 19th-century model to get larger and more complex.
