Question 2 Environmental pollution is the biggest manace to the human race on this planet today.

It means adding impurity to environment. The environment consists of earth, water, air, plants, and animals. If we pollute them, then the existence of man and nature will be hampered. It is true that trees are being cut down rapidly. Common factory-emitted water pollutants include phosphates, asbestos, mercury, nitrates, grit, caustic soda and other sodium compounds, sulfuric acid, sulfur, oils and petrochemicals. Additionally, many manufacturing factories discharge undiluted poisons, corrosives and other completely noxious substances. Construction related factory discharge includes gypsum, metals, cement, abrasives and poisonous solvents. One dangerous type of contaminant that has been entering the food chains are the polychlorinated biphenyl compounds, which are components in adhesives, plastic wrap and various lubricants. In other findings, power plants cause thermal pollution when they increase water temperatures. These increases of temperature affect the amounts of oxygen that are suspended in a volume of water. Changing the oxygen levels of water disrupts the ecological balance of a body of water. This can kill of animal and plant species, at the same time it encourages the overgrowth of other plant and animal species .Besides that, factory pollution also includes chlorofluorocarbons, which have been shown to destroy the ozone layer. Hydrocarbon gases and nitrogen oxides are also frequently emitted by industrial factories. Factories also can cause sound pollution. The most immediate effect is a deterioration of mental health. Continuous noise can create panic episodes in a person and can even increase frustration levels. Also, noise pollution is a big deterrent in focusing the mind to a particular task. Over time, the mind may just lose its capacity to concentrate on things. Another immediate effect is deterioration of the ability to hear things clearly. Even on a short-term basis, noise pollution can cause temporary deafness. But if the noise continues for a long period of time, there's a danger that the person might go stone deaf. Noise pollution also takes a toll on the heart. It is observed that the rate at which heart pumps blood increases when there is a constant stimulus of noise pollution. This could lead to sideeffects like elevated heartbeat frequencies, palpitations, breathlessness and the like, which may even culminate into seizures Other types of pollutants that are known products of factory waste include volatile organic compounds like solvents, gasoline, petroleum products and cleaning solutions. Over time, the typical industrial factory has been fitted with various types of pollution control devices that are designed to minimize the amount of contaminants that are released into the air or water. While these and other means of decreasing pollution are somewhat effective, the pollution problem continues to be an increasing area of concern. Our earth is becoming warmer. If pollution continues, the day is not far when our earth will be a boiling pan and become a desert. Or it will covered with sea water causing destruction of mankind. So, I am here to urging our neighborhood to protest against the set up of the factory

near our housing area. With this, we can safe our health and our next generation to growth in healthy life.
