The Silent Killer: Urban Pollution

As cities grow larger and the population continues to increase, we need to be observant of pollution in its entirety, which could involve water pollution, air pollution or even noise pollution and a lot more.

Personally, I make sure to be observant of people around me who engage in this negative act, some of them get to advise them while the others I ignore and clear out all the necessities that need to be done within my reach because not everyone can get to understand these things. The small things or mistakes we tend to ignore can turn into a big problem when not noticed.

One of the worst pollution is dispose he most is water pollution. I have been to a community where people struggle to drink clean water, some children even believe a good water colour is brown, so sad when one told me because I know he must've not seen a good water all his life. Water pollution can be dangerous not just to the environment but to our Physical and mental health. Surviving in the community for 3 days made me try out their water and trust me I fell sick for 4 days, I was just vomiting and defecating, then I said to myself this people are really trying, this is the reason why I always appreciate people that often do Borehole to a community or people around.

To be honest, as a community, we need to join the fight against water pollution because a lot of people are suffering deep down, its ain't easy for people, and I have seen a lot of people who have been affected by this pollution, some even age faster.

Basically, I know Pollution can lead to Cardiovascular problems and respiratory problems, which may cause difficulty in breathing, defects in organs of the body or disease or several negative aspects, which is why we need to work in unity against pollution.

Air Pollution is also a dangerous type of pollution. I call this type of pollution slow poison, as it gradually destroys the internal organs of the body slowly till it reaches a stage where the body cannot fight against it again. I have once encountered an unfavorable environment in a manufacturing area, the air gas made me struggle to breath, so many people did not even notice because their body is already used to it, the I asked myself how do people tend to cope with this type of acts, where they work for 12 hours everyday under this kind of conditions. I did not even last up to 3 months in this work when I saw it was almost weighing me down, I had to take that step and move forward, it wasn't an easy task for me to do back then, but my health really mattered a lot.

People need to be observant of their environment. One way we can reduce the risk of pollution is to work together to fight against it. Without unity, it will be really difficult and also for us personally to play our part to support the community, either monetarily or through physical contributions.
