¡🗣LET’S SAVE OUR PLANET EARTH 🌍!

Enjoy the video and analyze the effects of water pollution on our health. 😉

ON HUMAN HEALTH To put it bluntly: Water pollution kills. In fact, it caused 1.8 million deaths in 2015, according to a study published in  The Lancet . Contaminated water can also make you ill. Every year, unsafe water sickens about 1 billion people. And low-income communities are disproportionately at risk because their homes are often closest to the most polluting industries. ON THE ENVIRONMENT When water pollution causes an algal bloom in a lake or marine environment, the proliferation of newly introduced nutrients stimulates plant and algae growth, which in turn reduces oxygen levels in the water. This dearth of oxygen, known as  eutrophication , suffocates plants and animals and can create “ dead zones ,” where waters are essentially devoid of life. In certain cases, these  harmful algal blooms  can also produce neurotoxins that affect wildlife, from whales to sea turtles. Chemicals and heavy metals from industrial and municipal wastewater contaminate wa

Here we leave a video about the causes and effects of water pullution🌎💦

We leave a video showing water pollution background information. Hope you enjoy it. 😁

1. Industrial waste: Industries produce huge amount of waste which contains toxic chemical. Many industries do not have proper waste management system and drain the waste in the fresh water which goes into rivers, canals and later in to sea.  2.  Mining activities: Mining is the process of crushing the rock and extracting coal and other minerals from underground. These elements when extracted in the raw form contains harmful chemicals and can increase the amount of toxic elements when mixed up with water 3.  Marine dumping: The garbage produce by each household in the form of paper, aluminum, rubber, glass, plastic, food if collected and deposited into the sea in some countries. These items take from 2 weeks to 200 years to decompose. When such items enters the sea, they not only cause water pollution but also harm animals in the sea.

We leave here a video talking about water pollution unbelievable facts. Hope you enjoy it !

Water pollution occurs when harmful substances often chemicals or microorganisms contaminate a stream, river, lake, ocean, aquifer, or other body of water, degrading water quality and rendering it toxic to humans or the environment.  Water is uniquely vulnerable to pollution. Known as a “universal solvent,” water is able to dissolve more substances than any other liquid on earth. It’s the reason we have Kool-Aid and brilliant blue waterfalls. It’s also why water is so easily polluted. Toxic substances from farms, towns, and factories readily dissolve into and mix with it, causing water pollution. In fact water pollution is created by us ( humans). And it is one of the most and critical environmental problems of the planet Earth. It involves in the destruction of it. One day we could get rid of clean water or even water itself. SOURCE:  https://www.nrdc.org/stories/water-pollution-everything-you-need-know

We leave here another video explaining  more deep information about Mauna Loa volcanoe. Hope you enjoy it ;)

MAUNA LOA DIAGRAM MAUNA LOA VOLCANOE PICTURES DESCRIPTION AND FACTS Mauna Loa, is also know as "Long Mountain”, is located on the island of Hawaii. It is above rising 13,680 ft. (4,170 m) above sea level. Since 1832, Mauna Loa has erupted 39 times; its last eruption was in 1984. Mauna Loa covers m ore than 50 percent of Hawaii Island. Mauna Loa is the world’s  largest active volcano. It is believed that Mauna Loa has  been erupting for 700,000 years or more, emerging from  under the sea approximately 400,000 years ago.  Mauna Loa  is considered to be in the shield stage.
