Dust particles:

Dust particles form a complex of organic compounds and minerals. These can come
from natural sources, such as volcanoes, or human activities, such as industrial
burning processes or traffic. The smallest particles have the ability to transport
toxic compounds into the respiratory system. Some of these compounds are able to
cause cancer. When they are released into the environment, dust particles can
cause cancer and winter smog.

Lead:

Comes from burning of fossil fuels and leaded gasoline; paint; metal refineries; battery
manufacturing. It causes brain and nervous system damage, digestive and other problems.
Some lead containing chemicals cause cancer in animals.

Conservation:

 More than half of the amphibian species found in the Colombian Andes are
endangered.
With globally significant biodiversity levels, the Central and Western parallel
mountains of the Colombian Andes support several species that exist nowhere else.
Among the countrys most endangered species, the Cauca guan, a large, fruiteating bird, is restricted to the middle elevations of Cauca valley. Once believed to be
extinct, small populations of the birds were discovered in the mid-1980s within the
fragmented ecosystems of four cloud forests.

Technology:

refers to the development of scientific research and technological innovation in Colombia, and
how these in turn affect Colombian society, politics, and culture. In spite of its current internal
armed conflict and economic struggle there is a growing interest about the developing of its
technology in different fields.
