What are the environmental pollution around us and what harm do they do to us?

People in the production and life, constantly waste gas, waste water, waste residue, garbage, a variety of harmful chemicals and radioactive pollutants, etc., discharged into the environment, destroying the ecological balance of the environment, so that the environment has undergone unfavorable changes to human beings, directly or indirectly endangered human health, collectively referred to as environmental pollution.

The main substances that cause environmental pollution are as follows:

①Industrial "three wastes", i.e., wastewater, waste gas and waste residue emitted from industrial production.

② Agricultural use of pesticide residues.

3 life emissions of sewage, feces, garbage.

④Radioactive pollutants, such as nuclear energy industry, nuclear weapons production and testing emissions of waste and drift dust. Harmful pollutants into the atmosphere, it will cause atmospheric pollution; into the rivers and lakes, resulting in water pollution; into the soil, resulting in soil pollution and so on.

In order to prevent and control environmental pollution, China has enacted a series of laws such as the Law of the People's Republic of China on Environmental Protection, the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Prevention and Control of Water Pollution and the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Prevention and Control of Environmental Noise Pollution.

In 1994, the Chinese government formulated China's Agenda 21, an action guide for China's future environmental protection work, stating that "the pursuit of quantitative economic growth through high consumption and the 'pollute first, treat later' traditional development model have become the norm. The traditional development model of 'pollution first, then treatment' no longer meets the requirements of today's and tomorrow's development; instead, efforts must be made to seek a path of sustainable development in which population, economy, society, environment and resources are in harmony with each other, and which meets the needs of the present generation without jeopardizing the ability to meet the needs of future generations."

Related government departments have also done a lot of work in preventing and controlling environmental pollution, such as the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Chemical Industry, the State Oceanic Administration, the General Office of the State Council, the Supreme People's Court, the Ministry of Environmental Protection and other departments have issued relevant laws and regulations.

In order to do a good job in the prevention and control of environmental pollution, we must strive to enhance the environmental awareness of each citizen: on the one hand, we must realize that human beings in the process of development and use of natural resources, often cause pollution and damage to the ecological environment; on the other hand, we must change this understanding into their own practical action to "protect the environment, everyone has the responsibility! On the other hand, we should transform this understanding into our practical actions, actively participate in various environmental protection activities with the attitude of "protecting the environment is everyone's responsibility", and consciously cultivate the moral culture of protecting the environment. There are many measures to prevent and control environmental pollution, which are closely related to biological science, including the use of biological purification to eliminate environmental pollution and the development of green food.
