RUBBISH
Lakes and
rivers are often polluted because drains from townsand factories empty into them. And factories sometimes dump veryharmful
chemicals into the water. The chemicals poison the water.Wildlife cannot
easily survive in it.Ocean-going tankers sometimes empty tank fills of oily
water into the sea. When this happens, great patches of oil are left
floatingon the sea’s surface. If fish
swallow the oil, or if their gills becomedogged up, they die. Birds land on the
sea and the oil is cleaned off the birds will die.Electricity for your home is made in buildings
called power plants. Power plants usually use coal, oil, or
gas to make electricity.But some plant use nuclear energy.To make nuclear energy, uranium is needed. And
uranium isradioactive, which means it gives off rays which are very dangerousto any living thing. People working in nuclear
power plants wear special clothing and masks to protect themselves.After the uranium has been used there is some
dangerouswaste, rubbish, left.
Scientists haven’t yet found out how to makerubbish completely safe. So it is sealed in huge concrete containersand
buried at sea, or deep underground.Some
people are worried that the radioactivity might escapeand poison living things. And this rubbish remains
dangerous for thousands of years.In
short, our environment has been contaminated bychemicals. And there’s
human’s role beyond the pollution.Taken from Nature in Danger, 1993
