How are
the things with our Planet? Are we aware of the things we do and what we
cause? There are many damages caused to the Earth by different problems like
smoke, rubbish, deforestation, traffic, littering and so on. But there is one
unequal with lethal consequences that is the Radioactive Pollution. The
Radioactive pollution is defined as the physical pollution of air, water and
other radioactive materials. In view of the environmental specialists, radiations can
be from different sources: can be natural (also known as the background
radiations) or manmade (include the mining and refining of plutonium and
thorium), humanity is still careless about the Earth.
In
reference to this, an event which is well-known worldwide, was the first atom
bomb exploded in the Japan in the year 1945. It affected
the Hiroshima and Nagasaki cities. It adversely affected the flora, fauna and
humans of that area. In spite of these destructions the nuclear race is still
going on between nations. The nuclear arms are tested with the production of
nuclear weapons.
Moreover, there are gases and particles produced by radioactive materials which
are carried out by the wind and the rain brings down the
radioactive particles to the ground which is referred to as nuclear fallout. The
soil transfers these radioactive substances to the plants and ultimately they
reach the human body and cause many side effects. For example, the iodine,
affected material, may affect the blood cells, spleen, skin cancer, sterility
and etc. Another case, the strontium has the ability to aggregate in the bones
and form a bone cancer and leads to tissue degeneration.
The
radioactive materials are passed through the land to water and cause an adverse
effect on the aquatic animals and they also reach to human through the food
chain. Even though it is fictional, but for the matter of
rising consciousness, think of the power plant in the Simpsons –
contaminants are left behind which get contact with water, as a result we can
see a fish with three eyes. This shows a type of mutation produced by
contaminated water with radioactive elements.
To put it
briefly, this controversial issue that is strongly a manmade cause,
has several results such as explosion of nuclear weapons, the nuclear fuels
from power plants and mainly adulteration of the air, water and other
materials. Therefore, we can also see consequences of this as in a TV series, The Simpsons
where reflect them in an animated and funny way but
unfortunately, human beings do not do anything to reduce it.
Well Kevin, we usually talk about global warming and their causes but this is by far the most dangerous kind of pollution. Thank for worrying us about it.
ResponderEliminarDear kevin your essay is very interesting, I really enjoyed reading it. you have used many vocabularies and the structure is well organized. Personally, I must say that this essay is to think about what we want for our future generations, because we have one world there is no other one, so we are in time to save the planet. WELL DONE KEVIN!
