Pollution in Its Many Forms

I read this article in the text muet (Longman), this article tell us about the effects of pollution. Pollution is one of the most serious problems facing the world today. Pollution has destroyed ecological balance and wildlife and caused various illnesses. As an example, air pollution caused by fumes from factories, car exhausts and crop spraying has reduced visibility and caused breathing problems. Besides that, nuclear testing and use of atomic energy expose people to high radiation levels. Moreover, the burning of fossil fuels damages plants, buildings and human health. Undecayed domestic rubbish also presents problems. Sewage and the dumping of industrial waste into our seas and oceans have caused the death of marine life.
