Earth has over 8.7 million species of plants and animals. Humans dominate the planet and has put the earth in great peril. Here are some scary facts to consider – plus be aware of below:
AIR POLLUTION
- Air pollution is contamination of the indoor or outdoor environment by any chemical, physical or biological agent that modifies the natural characteristics of the atmosphere.
- Air pollution can lead to a wide range of diseases, including stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, trachea, bronchus and lung cancers, aggravated asthma and lower respiratory infections.
WATER POLLUTION
- Water pollution is the release of substances into bodies of water that makes water unsafe for human use and disrupts aquatic ecosystems.
- Water pollution harms humans by causing diseases, skin irritation, and disrupting the food chain, leading to potential health problems like diarrhea, cholera, and even cancer.
FOOD POLLUTION
- Food pollution, encompassing both chemical and biological contamination, refers to unwanted substances in our food supply that can cause foodborne illnesses or long-term health problems.
- Food contamination can trigger anything from a small discomfort to life-threatening diseases. On average, more than 70 million cases of food-borne illnesses occur in the U.S. every year, resulting in approximately 5,000 deaths per year!
Forever Chemicals - Wow! - Its Forever
“Forever chemicals” refer to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)—a group of man-made chemicals that do not easily break down in the environment or the human body. They are commonly found in:
- Non-stick cookware (Teflon)
- Waterproof clothing and stain-resistant fabrics
- Food packaging (like fast-food wrappers and microwave popcorn bags)
- Firefighting foam
- Cosmetics and personal care products
Health problems that may be associated with PFAS
- Fertility issues and pregnancy-induced hypertension/preeclampsia.
- Increased cholesterol.
- Changes in the immune system.
- Increased risk of certain cancers (e.g., testicular and kidney cancer)
