Pollution; A Silent Killer In Our Midst
Hello, beautiful people! Welcome to my blog. It's a pleasure to have you in this space. Once again, welcome 🤗
I feel pollution is a general problem in many parts of the world. I know this to an extent from movies and also news I have watched and read.
Pollution has affected and is still affecting the environment and public health of many communities. Pollution, as we all know, encompasses various types, including air, water, land, and plastic pollution, and each of these has its own unique causes and consequences. While we don't get to talk about pollution often, it's something that affects everyone directly or indirectly.
It's the rainy season, and while I get excited about the rain, I also have reasons why sometimes I don't like the rain. This is because there are areas I can't visit when it rains. So I had training sometime ago in a city that was different from mine, and we were lodged in one of the city's finest areas. I was so happy and excited until it started to rain, and I went out to get something at a shop outside the hotel.The front of the hotel was flooded with dirty water from the gutters, and everywhere was stinky with smells, but I was shocked when I saw people entering the water to cross to the other side of the road as if they were walking inside clean, crystal-clear water.
There's a street I don't dare follow during the rainy season whenever I'm going to my family house, even though it's shorter, because all the houses have nothing less than two gutters that are not well taken care of, and the men in that area also urinate outside the area. The smell around there is acidic; it can choke someone to death, and if you mistakenly step on any water anywhere there, just know it's filled with urine and any rubbish you can think of.
While all types of pollution we have are detrimental to our health and total well-being. I personally think air pollution is the worst because of its immediate and long-term health impacts. We keep inhaling different kinds of stuff without knowing how hazardous they are to our system. There was a time I came across a post online that said, according to the World Health Organization, air pollution has been linked to millions of deaths worldwide, and Nigeria, my beloved country, is not an exception.
We all have roles to play in eradicating pollution, and I think one of them is creating awareness. I don't want to believe that everyone knows the causes and consequences of pollution and how our individual actions can help make our communities and the world a better and safer place for everyone.

THANK YOU FOR READING TO THE END 🤗
Thank you 👍
Pollution has affected so many people causing alot of health challenges in our various communities
That's right
You article remind of an area in my town even if it is not raining I don't by any follow there I pass I hate that area because of how misbehave with there environment he will see a big man urinating at the front of the door another one eating there was a day I mistakenly followed the area what I saw made me not to eat food for completely 1 day just because of how irritated is was
But I believe as we are discussing it in hive now we will be able to bring out possible ways that we can control pollution right from our houses for the benefit of better generation and our unborn children that will come and benefit from them and also places that are lost in this way we will introduce seminars on personal hygiene and the importance of good living because some people don't know but through seminar they will be able to know how to keep there surrounding clean to even avoid sickness like maleria typhoid
You are right, people need to be enlightened about pollution and its health hazard. Thank you for stopping by
You are most welcome together we are going to put an end to pollution even as it is not easy but for sure we shall be controlling it and gradually we will get rid of it in due time

I can't imagine entering in such a water😱: infectuous diseases knock the door😖
Seriously, one can easily contact diseases from that water
We also face a similar condition after rain that polluted water stopped on the roads and people have to walk into that water to cross the roads which is very polluted as the government should take action on it and work on the betterment of the sewage system
!PIZZA
It's so sad that the government isn't willing to do anything
Yes as everyone has their own role in increasing pollution

Come get MOONed!
I agree that continuous awareness is key but you know that there are some humans with goat spirit that will not cry until they see he coffin. They believe that they cannot be harmed by pollution.
We can try our best but folding our arms is not the solution. Enough of Que Sera Sera mindset
The goat spirit got me laughing 😂😂
Yes na 😂😂😂
Dem no dey hear word
Climate change, global warming and several natural disasters occur as consequences of pollution but we won't listen. The bitter truth is that controlling pollution is one man's job.
Absolutely, it's something we can do on our own if we are willing
I agree with you that air pollution is the worst of them. By logical inferences and little information I read online too, it proves to be so. We need to be intentional about our environment by all means, to preserve it.
Absolutely 💯
Just like the road you are telling about, there is a similar road near our house and the condition is very bad even with a little rain. It becomes difficult to walk there. The road is so narrow and so many vehicles keep moving that it is always dangerous. There is a lot of foul smell coming from the open drains.
That's just so sad
The way pollution is mounting threat to human Health is increasing in The rate at which it occur... We are just suffering from one disease to another that have a root of origin from pollution...
It's just so sad
Yeap it is..
