Land pollution : Agriculture still plays a very important role in the development of Malaysia and a lot of emphasis has

been laid on it. Too much perhaps, the wildlife that thrives so abundantly among us has been placed in danger. Pesticides used in agriculture also plays a main role in the degradation of the environment. Many of these pesticides contain non biological ingredients and can cause abnormal changes in any wildlife that comes across it. In other words, these chemicals can cause wildlife to mutate. Not only insects to which the pesticides are aimed towards are affected, but also the animals which feed on them and they can eventually end up in human bodies. Pesticides pollute the earth, making it useless as well as poisonous after all the nutrients have been sapped out from it. Thus the land may lay barren and empty for years before it is able to recover its normal p level and nutrients. Pesticides also flow into the rivers and streams and eventually seas, causing pollution as it continues its seaward !ourney. Pesticides, if used at a minimal amount, is harmless and even helps in the production of agriculture by eliminating unwanted pests. "ut pests soon build up a defense system and are eventually immune to the effects of the pesticides and become very hard to get rid off. #o, farmers have no choice but to increase in the amount of pesticides. The effects are unimaginable. $ogging too has made its mark in the degradation of nature. % I bet you already know the effects, guys. #o needless for me to say anymore&' Malaysia is forced to become a dumping site to the millions of tons of rubbish thrown every week due to her sharp increase in the population. This has become a ma!or headache to everyone in the country.
