Dilution Is Not The Solution To Pollution

By: Geetika

OUR JOB

  • We have to be very responsible with the vast amount of water we are entrusted to take care of.
  • We also have a large population that we need to provide clean, safe, drinkable water to.
  • We should take this seriously and try to make our sewage system as clean as possible.
  • This can come only through increased public awareness and proper lobbying of the government for change.

Effect on health

  • Many diseases can be contracted from drinking contaminated water daily.
  • Some examples would be malaria, poor blood circulation, skin lesions and much more.
  • It damages our kidneys and our digestive system.

Economic Effect

  • If you went to a foreign country expecting beautiful scenery of the ocean, and all you smell is the bad odor of human waste, you wouldn't want to come back.
  • You would also discourage other people about visiting that country.
  • Therefore, the dilution of our oceans can eventually affect the Canadian tourist industry.
  • It is important to note that dilution is not occurring in our oceans. As a province, we also dilute Lake Ontario, which is a major tourist attraction.

Marine Life

  • It lowers the oxygen level for marine animals, and sometimes it kills them.
  • Our waste is not meant to be eaten, but the marine life doesn't know that. It is slowly killing them.

Effect on daily Life

Introduction

  • The ocean isn't infinite, it only has a certain amount of volume. One day, if we continue to dump our waste into the ocean, the ocean will hold no benefit for us.
  • Also, our waste is always floating around. Sometimes, it floats into the place where we collect our drinking water.
  • In addition, fish live there too and they feed on our waste. If you eat fish, it is possible that you have eaten a small part of a stranger's waste.
  • In my opinion, dilution is absolutely not the solution to pollution.
  • Cleaning our water properly would be far more beneficial for everyone rather than dumping all of our waste into the ocean.
  • Dilution was only acceptable when there was a significantly lower population, but even then it was harming us a lot.
