Pollution is a big problem which faces countries all over the world. There are different forms of
pollution: air pollution, water pollution and noise pollution.
Every day, cars, buses and factories emit large amount of smoke in the air. Consequently, the air
becomes polluted and people suffer from respiratory related diseases such as asthma.
Water is also polluted when factories throw their waste into rivers and seas. So a large number of sea
birds and fish are killed and become extinct.
Noise pollution is also a serious problem which threatens our health. Every day, we are exposed to noise
from moving cars, machines and other source of noise. Consequently, people may be exposed to auditory
problems such as: deafness.
