DISEASES Caused by Pollution

Today pollution is a problem that affects the whole population in general; humans are not aware of the harm caused by having highly polluting habits because it uses chemicals, not constantly recycled and is not aware that the resources are limited. This situation affect the environment and affect humans and animals because it alters their natural habitat, which can cause the death of many species and in more severe cases the extinction of these.

However as mentioned; earlier pollution not only damages the natural habitat of animals; it is also the main cause of many diseases for man. Allergies, respiratory diseases such as rhinitis, asthma, bronchitis are generated by the severe environmental damage we cause ourselves.

It is important that humans know as to change this dangerous situation that affects not just the environment, and animals but even worse as it is damaging to himself.
