QUESTION 2 - PERSUASIVE ESSAY

PROTEST AGAINST THE SET UP OF FACTORY NEAR THE HOUSING AREA

House is a shelter for a family from the sun and rain and from any threat of danger.
Safe housing conditions will provide comfort and to create positive interaction among family
members and community members. Equipped housing facilities and beautiful environment can
contribute to the growth and development of a healthy and free from disease. This harmony
will be tarnished if the factory built near residential areas that have been proven to endanger
the health of the local community either during construction or when the plant was operating.
During construction of the plant, there will be a lot of movement in and out of trucks
that will affect the safety of people and cause air pollution like dust in the local area and the
noise pollution that affect public order. This construction process will certainly take a long
time and if not well planned will lead to a flood of mud that would affect residential areas.
Meanwhile, the factory is operating will be adverse impact on residential environment. The
main effect is air pollution. Air pollution occurs when pollutants such as toxic gas, smoke, dust
and dust released into the air and affect the respiratory system that can cause debilitating
asthma and lung function.
According to research from the World Health Organization (WHO), a total of three
million people die each year due to air pollution. It is higher than the number of deaths caused
by vehicle accidents. In addition, air pollution also causes shrinkage of the ozone layer which
causes the imbalance of ecosystems in the world, acid rain that kills vegetation and aquatic
life, the greenhouse effect that can cause global warming will make the hot surface and the
occurrence abnormal environment such as frequent floods and haze that reduces visibility and
health hazards.
In addition, construction of factories in residential areas will cause noise pollution that
occurs through the use of machinery and equipment that produce a lot of noise. The effect of
this noise can negatively affect health. According to the study of Rosen (in Mulholland, 1981),
noise can interfere with the growth of children such as pale skin, intestinal cramps and kidney
damage. Noise can also affect the level of efficiency in the implementation of the work for not
being able to focus and can interfere with emotional and stressful life.

Factory close to residential areas will expose residents to thermal pollution and
chemical contamination. Thermal pollution will lead to global warming is global warming
which in turn will have an adverse effect on humans. Chemical contamination have occurred
with the removal of waste chemicals into the water plant. Water pollution can also occur with
waste disposal or waste uncontrolled plant. The dirty water will affect the lives and health of
the population.
Accordingly, every individual must play its role by demonstrating a sense of
responsibility towards the environment. Construction of the plant close to residential areas
should be in dispute by all residents as it will cause a negative impact on society. It also will
affect the lives of future generations. The manufacturers need to study the potential effects
experienced by local communities and seek advice from the Department of Environment
before taking the decision to build the plant. The factory will be built in areas that are less
risky to the public. Well-being of society in the future is dependent on how each individual
deal with every problem that arose and fought to overcome them.
