The capital Dhaka is one of the cities of polluted air in the world. The environment of the capital has become more unhealthy in the last three or four months. As soon as you get on the road, it seems like the kingdom of dust is on the roads.
Again, the environment is constantly being polluted due to water pollution, noise pollution and dumping of dirt everywhere. It is known that this dust was created due to digging in the road and various construction works. In addition, the black smoke of vehicles, black smoke of brick kilns, etc. have become unhealthy in the air of the capital.
This problem is usually seen during the winter. However, this time the problem has started long before the winter. The residents of the capital are constantly suffering due to the dust on the roads. As a result, asthma, COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease), AR Outbreaks appear to be exacerbated during childhood and adolescence.
In addition, the environment is being polluted in various ways including water pollution, noise pollution and people are being harmed in various ways due to this. Let us know from the following information how people can be harmed by them.
Impairing the development of children's intelligence and nerve damage
According to the report of the World Bank, poor women and children are suffering from pollution. Because most of them live in contaminated areas, there is also a risk of lead contamination, which can lead to the development of children's intelligence and neurological damage.
Physical harm to pregnant women
Living in contaminated areas can greatly increase the risk of miscarriage and stillbirth in pregnant women. Polluted air and water in these areas can pose a health risk to oneself and the unborn baby.
Air pollution damages eyes, respiratory system
The Lawrence Berkley National Laboratory, a U.S. research institute, says exposure to contaminated air that contains chemical compounds can cause eye, nose or throat infections or damage.
It can also cause various lung complications, such as bronchitis or pneumonia, headaches, asthma and various allergies. Scientists have found a link between air pollution and diabetes.
Cancer and heart disease
Experts say that long-term exposure to air pollution or working in such an environment can lead to lung cancer and heart disease. It can even cause long-term problems with the brain, liver or kidneys.
The effects of water pollution are very long lasting
The UK's Water Pollution Guide, which works to reduce pollution levels through water, says the long-term effects on water pollution are far greater than the temporary ones.
Especially industrial wastes are much more harmful to the human body. The use of these water can cause diseases like skin diseases, typhoid, jaundice or hepatitis.
Damage through the food cycle
Scientists say that contaminated water or rivers contain fish or animals, and that the contaminants that are produced also spread to those animals.
Through the food cycle, these harmful substances again enter the human body. As a result, even if they are not directly near contaminated water, the contaminants enter the human body through these fish, which can lead to malnutrition or cancer. Even lead, plastic and other harmful substances are entering the human body through the food cycle.
Hyper tension due to noise pollution
The National Association of Noise Control in the United States says that the noise of the path can cause hypertension, ulcers, heart disease, headaches or nerve problems.
Even in an environment of extra noise, a baby's birth defects can develop. Noise pollution can cause blood pressure, breathing problems and even digestive problems.
Organs are losing effectiveness in food pollution
Many diseases of the intestines, liver, kidneys or stomach are losing function due to food contamination. Various problems including gastric ulcer are being created. Sometimes these causes cause cancer.
When children eat this kind of contaminated food from an early age, their immunity is reduced or their growth is hampered.
Note that it is not enough to just look at the government or the authorities to avoid environmental pollution. We have to be aware of protecting the environment first.
In this way, the government, the people, all the organizations must take a comprehensive action. Otherwise we cannot protect ourselves from environmental pollution.
