Answer:

To start off, one of the most known epidemics occurring today is air pollution. Air pollution is one of the main factors as to what is causing Global Warming, and it is due to factories and the growing industry in America that is bringing about such pollution. The use of factories release pollutants into the air, such as nitrogen oxides and organic solvents. Most of this air pollution we cause results from the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, natural gas, and gasoline to produce electricity and power our vehicles. These pollutants not only harm public health, but also harm the environment, bringing about climate change, the greenhouse effect, and the ozone hole. Not only is pollution caused by factories, but also from everyday activities such as driving cars and trucks. Most cars have a typical combustion engine that burns fuel for energy, which results in the production of a wide variety of harmful chemicals like carbon dioxide, volatile organic compounds and particulate matter. Additionally, they require several liquids to run that are toxic to people, animals and plants.

 Factories are not only harmful to the environment because they bring about tons of air pollution daily, but they also cause land pollution. The most simple way that these factories cause land pollution is simply by being build. Large acres of perfectly good land is destroyed in order to build either a mall, factory, or some other upscale building. These factories that contain hazardous materials inside sometimes have leaks in which the fuel and energy stored in the factories seep through into the ground under the building, bringing about land contamination. Referring back to my very first Civic Issues Blog, one of the oppositions to the pipelines that Trump wants to revive for oil transportation was the fact that those pipes brought about mass amounts of land pollution to the places they ran underneath. Not only are those pipes harming the environment for which they are around, but also the communities that have been established above ground. If one of the pipelines was to burst, the ground would be completely infected with harmful oil, bringing about soil contamination. Soil contamination is caused by direct exposure to the pollutant, leakage of toxic gases into buildings, and groundwater pollution. The exposure to these toxic liquids could potentially make the soil or ground unsuitable to be used due to the industrial waste that would thus begin lingering on the surface of the land.

 Most people would not think of radiation as harming the environment. We tend to think that radiation is only present when receiving an x-ray or even, positively, from the sun. However, the improper disposal of toxic wastes into the ground causes radiation to play a huge part in the demolition of the environment. Some forms of radiation are found in the natural environment and others are due to modern technology. The damage it causes depends on the level of radiation and the resiliency of the organism. Radiation causes molecules to lose electrons thus destroying it. Killing certain enzymes in the body can simply make you sick. This is why, when receiving Chemotherapy, cancer patients tend to get very sick from the treatment. In regards to the environment, radiation may result in weakening of seeds and frequent mutations, thus killing plants and the soil in the vicinity of the exposure. High doses of radiation from factories are a leading cause in the continued killing of the environment.
