environmental issues
Transcript: water can purify itself but only to a point, but it cannot breakdown the waste that is put in from today`s society. overload toxic chemicals in aquatic ecosystems can reduce fertility, genetic mutations, tumors, and death in fish and wildlife. effective management of our freshwater resources and prevention of water pollution are essential to ensuring the health and wellness to protecting our ecosystems and ourselves. Consuming poor-quality drinking water can have serious impacts on public health, Canada`s drinking water are generally excellent quality, however water is never pure it picks up bits here and there. While many of these are harmless some may have potential risks to our health. most risks come from microscopic organisms these can be severe and also can affect you long term, while there also are chemical contaminants present they are lass common, most or there effects are short term few being long term and can be very harmful. Habitat and wildlife Conclusion pollution is any substance that is present in or has been introduced into the environment and has harmful or unpleasant effects. this can eliminate habitats and cause deformities in animals and reproductive dysfunction. Acid rain can get into major streams rivers and lakes which has been known to kill many animals at a time you can change your everyday habits and practice pollution prevention to minimize and avoid the creation of pollutants and waste. pollution prevention focuses on removing the causes of pollution and waste rather than on managing them after being created. the natural occurring results of a healthy ecosystem such as clean water and air, flood control, pest control, could be jeopardized as a result of biodiversity. Environmental issues After many years of consumption and heavy industrialization the planet is struggling and we are starting to feel its side effects of over-crowded dumps, contaminated sites, acid rain and polluted air and water. some major contributors in Canada are driving, yard work, home energy/ water use. pollution and waste They way we treat our world is starting to have repercussions all over the world causing changes in the climate, ecosystem stability issues, and drainage of resources that are depleting all of these factors have a rather negative effects and repercussions on us as a society and as a whole. our ecosystems are failing and having issues keeping up with our ever changing world because it cant adapt fast enough. this kills off many species everyday. This can have many negative side effects world wide Water And one more thing... Environmental issues Canada is the second largest country in the world, and is home to 25% of the world's wetlands and boreal forests. There are approximately 70,000 known wild species of plants and animals in Canada, more than 500 are listed as being a Species At Risk. The loss of or change in species and habitat can threaten ecosystem health and biodiversity, biodiversity is crucial because ecosystems preform functions that are essential to human existence. It provides us with food,clothing, medicine, oxygen, water purification, and soil production. When habitat and species are lost biodiversity decreases resulting in unstable ecosystems, they are more vulnerable to extreme events and have weakened natural cycles.
