Water Problem

Vocabulary • Agricultural : (thuộc) nông nghiệp • Enterprises : doanh nghiệp • Residential : dân cư

Causes of water pollution

• Saigon river is also polluted by industrial and

agricultural waste water from small-sized

enterprises along the river which is to 65.000

cubic meters a day.

• Residential waste water another pollution

factor. Everyday, 74.800 cubic meters of

waste water in dumped into the river from

residential in localities, with over 90% of the

waste coming from Hồ Chí Minh city.

• That is equivalent to only less than 20% of

household waste collected and treated due to

the limited number of waste water treatment

plants, the rest is discharged into the river.

• In addition, the production bose is located

outside the industrial zones also discharged

into the river basin Saigon 45.000 cubic

meters.

• Including hazardous

industries such as paper

production 7.700 cubic

meters and textile 4.200

cubic meters. As for

livestock operations per

day discharged than

24.500 cubic meters

waste water.

Effects of water pollution

• General consequences of water pollution is

the proportion of people who suffer from

acute and chronic diseases related to water

pollution, such as conjunctivitis, diarrhea,

cancer. People living around polluted areas

increasingly suffering from a variety of

disease suspected of being due to the use of

dirty water in all activities.

Air Problem

Vocabulary

• Atmosphere: khí

quyển

• Particulate: hạt bụi • Bronchitis: viêm phế

quản

• Pneumonia: viêm phổi

• There are several main causes of air pollution,

the vast majority of them can be attributed to

man.

• Air pollution is the introduction into the

atmosphere of chemicals, particulates, and

biological matter that cause harm to humans,

other living organisms, or cause damage to

the natural environment

Causes of air pollution in Ho Chi Minh

• Ho Chi Minh city is big city in Viet Nam and

developing city.

• The factor that contributes chiefly to air

pollution stems for transports, industrial

manufacturing or simply burning coal for

cooking and heating

Situation

• In Ho Chi Minh city air pollution is

accelerating at an alarming rate, every day 320000 cars and 3.2 million motobikes burn millions of liter of fuel, emitting equivalently a massive amount of toxic gas, especially carbon dioxide, particularly in the eastern and North-Western.

• In the Thu Duc and District 9, the dust

density measured surpasses the

permissible level, this is mainly due to

concentration of many industrial park in

the area. The downtown section is no

exception particularly the air pollution

measured daily at different times shows

greater than what is allowable.

Effect of air pollution

• Acidification:

Chemical reactions involving air pollutants can

create acidic compounds which can cause harm to

vegetation and buildings. Sometimes, when an air

pollutants, such as sulfuric acid combines with the

water droplets that make up clouds, the water

droplets become acidic, forming acid rain. When

acid rain falls over an area, it can kill trees and

harm animals, fish, and other wildlife.

• Ground-level ozone:

• Chemical reactions involving air pollutants create a

poisonous gas ozone (O3). Gas Ozone can affect

people’s health and can damage vegetation types

and some animal life too.

• Effect to health:

Short-term effects include irritation to the eyes, nose

and throat, and upper respiratory infections such as

bronchitis and pneumonia. Others include headaches,

nausea, and allergic reactions. Short-term air

pollution can aggravate the medical conditions of

individuals with asthma and emphysema.

•  Long-term health effects can include chronic

respiratory disease, lung cancer, heart

disease, and even damage to the brain,

nerves, liver, or kidneys. Continual exposure

to air pollution affects the lungs of growing

children

Earth Problems

Causes of land pollution

• Increase in urbanization is one of the

major causes of land pollution.

Causes of land pollution

• The disposal of non-biodegradable

wastes including containers, bottles and cans made of plastic, used cars and electronic goods leads to the pollution of land.

Causes of land pollution

• Agricultural wastes including

pesticides and fertilizers affect the land environment.

Causes of land pollution

• Industrial waste is also a major cause lead to land pollution. For example, chemicals and paint.

Causes of land pollution

• Improper treatment of sewage leads

to the accumulation of solids, such as biomass sludge.

Effects of land pollution

• Industrial waste falls to the land to

change the composition of the land.

• Pesticides led to the agro-ecological

imbalance.

• Organic components of the land

decreased rapidly, and the water-

holding capacity and drainage of land

the change.

Effects of land pollution

• The waste persistent unsanitary environment and

landscape, creating conditions for the development

of harmful bacteria to humans.

How to prevent land pollution

• Restricted solid waste, liquid and gaseous. • Limit the use of fertilizers, pesticides. • The factory must waste treatment before being

moved out.

• Propaganda about the harmful effects of

environmental pollution.

• The first , the current in HCM city has

about 11 industrial zone activities

I think the Government needs building industrial zones far from the city and achieve standard of wastewater treatment and emissions

Example existing industrial areas Bien Hoa in Dong Nai province and Song Than in Binh Duong Province is the modern industrial and protect environment.

The second, HCM City have too many vehicles about 5,300,000 vehicles according to statistics in 2011

The Government should limit the increase in new vehicles and management of older vehicles reasonably.

The 3rd, Ho Chi Minh city's population

is currently 7,700,000 people.

Government should limit population increase and migration management , conduct the planning expand the city .

Create more jobs in the industrial park outside the city to solve the population problem focused city.

The 4th , Besides that need execute of the measures as plant more trees in the city

put more can trash in public areas

building system collector and waste treatment reasonable and raise awareness of environmental protection of all people

As a student, how can we do to protect the environment?

 The world’s envirome nt is more and more pollute

• As

student s, we must togethe r find a way to save natural, as same as saving our life.

- We must not to throw

garbage away.
