Understanding Pollution

In the modern world, it is highly unlikely to find a place free from pollution. Heavy metals lace global water resources. For instance, Arsenic pollution of water affects more than 140 million people in 70 countries (Kotas, 2008). In Jeddah city of Saudi Arabia, the production of waste is constantly increasing in a tremendous rate. There is no functional sewerage system sufficient to manage the city’s waste. The inappropriately treated sewage discharges into the red sea. The condition in Jeddah is a replica of other environmental, global inadequacies. Therefore, toxic elements of pollution such as heavy metal are everywhere. In the United States, the impact of pollution prevention programs, as they appear at the current state, may not have any reductive impact on the level of the generation of toxic chemicals. However, prevention is not in itself the end, but the beginning of sustainable environmental management. Science provides evolving methods of environmental management that will eventual arrest the production of toxic pollutants into the environment. The progress of institutions (public and the private sector) in environmental awareness and sensitivity is impressive.

The research process has been insightful. It provided a global perspective on issues of the environment and opened up the knowledge of the interrelated nature of practices that cause global pollution. More so, the experience of writing a letter to policy makers in the various agencies dealing with the environmental issues is intriguing. Telling a personal story to an audience is more impactful than writing a letter to an individual official. Environmental protection is a responsibility of all the global citizens. Individuals can play a responsibility and contribute to environmental development. Through presentations to audiences, the environmental conservation message reaches several contributors of solutions at once. Peer critique workshops are essential in reviewing and streamlining scientific research. The paper, therefore, did not utilize the necessary input in the form of a constructive critique. However, the contribution of fellow students and an in-depth research provided a platform for environmental concept developments.
