The Damages of Garbage Pollution

Usually habitancy don't think garbage would cause environmental pollution. In fact, garbage can cause the drop of air quality, water pollution and waste of resource. Besides, it influences the economic development.

Thus, arresting and supervision of garbage becomes a new foremost task for us. Therefore we need to know where the garbage comes from first.

First, it comes from industries. Industries yield discrete waster water, gas, toxic substances and chemical wastes. If they are placed in the open air or dumped or illegally poured into the river. As a result, the environment is damaged.

Second, domestic garbage: As citizens have weak awareness of environmental protection, they scatter waste paper and glasses. They use a lot of disposable products at will. Thus, much pollution is caused such as dust pollution.

Third, healing garbage: extra products with a lot of bacteria have been leaved behind, together with healing polluted water, healing wastes, one- shot injectors and so on. If they are not just handled and directly poured into the river or plainly placed or even illegally resold, some communicable disease would spread.

Garbage brings lots of damages to the environment:
First, water pollution: garbage produces a large number of acidic, basic, toxic wastes. Some waste water contains mercury, lead, and cadmium which pollute the underground water once they jab into the ground. Most rivers are polluted by ammonia nitrogen, volatile phenol, and permanganate. Some rivers lose the self- cleaning function and thus, work on the reproduction of aquatic life.

Second, air pollution: in trash area, because of the burning and placing of garbage, there are discrete toxic gases containing sulfur. Dusts and small particles fly with the wind and thus, sulfur dioxide in the air significantly increases. Thus, acid rain frequently happens, so does the particle pollution.

Third, soil pollution: many areas are used to place garbage and thus, land degradation and desertification happen. Because of a large number of plastic bags, waste metals are leaved in the soil, the soil is hardened, and not convenient for planting crops.

Fourth, harmful to human beings' health: toxic gases are released by garbage and fly in any place with the wind. As a result, sulfur dioxide, lead in the air arise and cause many respiratory diseases. When underground water is polluted, habitancy may get diarrhea, trachoma and other diseases.

Fifth, harmful to the economic development: agreeing to researches, 70% of garbage can be recycled. If it is recycled, it can generate many profits, very helpful to the economic development and employment rate. Otherwise, it causes reserved supply waste and ecological disruption which admittedly work on economic development.
