Pollution is an environmental concern for people throughout the world. One university study suggests
that pollutants in the water, air, and soil cause up to 40 percent of the premature deaths in the world's
population. The majority of these deaths occur in developing countries.
Water in many third world countries is contaminated with toxic chemicals, also known as toxins. The
World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 1.1 billion people have little or no access to clean water. In
many of these regions the water that is used for drinking, cooking, and washing is the same water that is
used for dumping sewage and hazardous waste. Most developing countries cannot afford water treatment
facilities. Approximately 80% of infectious diseases in the world are caused by contaminated water.
Air pollution is a growing problem throughout the world. Indoor air pollution is one of the leading causes
of lung cancer. Families in developing countries use open stoves for cooking and heating their homes.
These homes do not have proper ventilation. The smoke, which is full of chemicals and carcinogens, gets
trapped inside where families eat and sleep. Outdoor pollution also causes disease and illness, especially
in industrial cities such as Beijing, China, where cancer is the leading cause of death. China relies heavily
on coal, which is considered the dirtiest source of energy. According to the European Union, only 1% of
urban dwellers in China breathe clean air on an average day. Neighbouring countries including Japan and
Korea receive much of China's pollution in the form of acid rain. This pollution results mainly from the coal
powered factories, which produce inexpensive goods for North American and European consumers.
Outdoor air pollution is also a concern in many wealthy countries. Those who live and work in urban centres
such as Los Angeles or Toronto experience many warm days beneath a layer of smog.
Soil pollution is also a major concern, both in industrial and developing countries. Pollutants such as
metals and pesticides seep into the earth's soil and contaminate the food supply. Soil pollution causes
major health risks to entire ecosystems. This type of pollution reduces the amount of land suitable for
agricultural production and contributes to global food shortages. Dumping of industrial and domestic waste
products produces much of the world's soil pollution, though natural disasters can also add to the problem.
In wealthy countries such as the US, protection agencies monitor the food supply. The public is generally
warned before major health outbreaks occur. Developing countries do not have this luxury. Farmers in poor
nations grow food in contaminated soil both to earn a living and to avoid starvation.
As more people move to urban centres, premature deaths caused by pollution are expected to increase
worldwide. Today, the developed nations who achieved their wealth at the expense of the environment will
be held accountable for protecting the earth's resources for future generations.
