July 25, 2009 00:00:00
THE pollution of the environment is very dangerous. A polluted environment means pollution in water, food, and air, which are the most important elements for living things. Man is the main cause of pollution nowadays. He fells trees and it does not rain. If there is no water, there will be no crops. He cannot get fresh air to breathe, water to drink, food to eat. Pollution is the cause of many diseases. Moreover, due to pollution, the ozone layer is depleted and harmful rays of the sun reach the earth.
Dhaka has earned notoriety as one of the most polluted cities of the world. Heaps of dirt are found everywhere. The people should cover the mouth and nose with masks. The citizens should be made aware about the dangers of pollution. The government should make strict rules and implement those to make the city and the country pollution-free.
