    Environmental Issues

     Our environment faces several problems, and many of these seem to


    be worsening with time, bringing us into a time of a true
    environmental crisis. It is therefore becoming increasingly important
    to raise awareness of the existence of these issues, as well as what
    can be done to reduce their negative impact. Some of the key issues
    are:
     1) Pollution
     Pollution of the air, water and soil caused by toxins such as plastics,
    heavy metals and nitrates, caused by factors such as toxins and gases
    released by factories, combustion of fossil fuels, acid rain, oil spill and
    industrial waste.
     2) Global warming
     The emission of greenhouse gases due to human activity causes global
    warming, which in turn causes an increase in temperature that then
    leads to rising sea levels, melting of polar ice caps, flash floods and
    desertification.
     3) Overpopulation
     We are facing a shortage of resources such as food, water and fuel to
    sustain the rising global population, particularly in developing
    countries. Intensive agriculture attempting to lessen the problem
    actually leads to more damage through the use of chemical fertilizers,
    pesticides and insecticides.
     4) Waste disposal
     An excessive amount of waste is produced and dumped in the oceans.
    Nuclear waste is particularly dangerous, as well as plastics and
    electronic waste.
     5) Ocean acidification
     The increase in the production of carbon dioxide by humans causes
    the oceans’ acidity to rise, which has a negative impact on marine life.
     6) Loss of biodiversity
     Species and habitats are becoming extinct due to human activity. This
    causes an imbalance in natural processes like pollination and poses a
    threat to ecosystems – coral reef destruction is particularly affected.
     7) Deforestation
     Loss of trees in order to make space for residential, industrial or
    commercial projects means that less oxygen is produced, and
    temperature and rainfall are affected.
     8) Ozone layer depletion
     Pollution caused by chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in the air creates a
    hole in the ozone layer, which protects the earth from harmful UV
    radiation.
     9) Acid rain
     Pollutants in the atmosphere such as sulfur dioxide and nitrogen
    oxides cause acid rain, which has negative consequences for humans,
    wildlife and aquatic species.
     10) Public health issues
     Lack of clean water is one of the leading environmental problems
    currently. Pollutants in the air also cause issues such as respiratory
    disease and cardiovascular disease.
