As we all know Pollution is the unfavourable alternation of the environment due to the addition of impurities by man that causes danger to living things
Pollution is caused by pollutants. Pollutants are substances that is introduced to the environment and causes pollution
The pollution is Nigeria has become something that's unbearable and if not treated with care can lead to destruction of life's and properties
Some examples of causes of pollution in Nigeria is
1. BURNING OF SUBSTANCES
In Nigeria you find people burning things close to houses or in places that there are a lot of people which is very wrong
The smoke produced from burning materials is a product of carbon monoxide (CO).
Carbon monoxide is produced by burning carbon substances with fire and addition of air. And it is a very harmful smoke that causes suffocation and damages the lungs when breathe in by humans
A useful way to control this is by burning those substances in places where there are no humans present or recycling is another option
2. SEWAGES (I.e Human waste such as Faeces, urine, fluid discharge from houses or factories)
If sewage are not well disposed they pollute the atmosphere
They may contain harmful chemicals. Sewage washed from land to ponds or rivers causes harm to aquatic bodies
And the urine and faeces produces offensive smells which pollutes the atmosphere and makes it un-easy for humans to
This can be controlled by using deep pit latrines or septic tanks
Sewage should be properly treated before disposal or recycling
And also indiscriminate passing of excreta should be avoided
There are other causes of pollution in Nigeria but we would discuss just this two
The ways of controlling pollution can be exercised easily by participating in sanitation as organised by the government on every last Saturday of the month
