There are three types of pollution which affect the

health. One of the pollution is air pollution.
=//Ehemm
//Definition of air pollution occur when the air contain gas,
dust, fumes(pronounced as 'fumas') or odours in harmful amounts.
There is an amount which could... be harmful to the health of (? ?)
of human and animals... of which could... cause damage to (? ?)
What are the effects of air pollution?
We inhale the poisonous gas it causes cardiovascular... respiratory
illness example asthma, bronchitis, and cancer.
Currently, hot scenario happened in many countries. It is haze.
What is haze?
Emm... Haze is traditional and atmospheric phenomenon where
dust, smoke and other dry particles obsecure the clarity of the sky.
It's happened because-uh...open burning of forest in Indonesia.
It causes sore throat, cough (pronounced as 'kof'), fever, flu
It's not 'kof' ,it's 'kaf' (correcting the pronunciation of cough
as 'kaf')
cough (pronouncing cough as'kaf') ,fever, flu, difficulty in
breathing,-uh...lastly is skin irritation.
What is skin irritation?
Skin irritation is skin sensitivity or skin
allergic...caused by the...haze.
Alright, even the government announced that the school should be
closed due to the high API.
What is API?
API is Air Pollution Index.
Moreover, a four months
baby in Singapore died due to the difficulty in breathing because of
the haze. And it's seem very hot news in Singapore.
((nodding))
And I think the solution should be- we have to be((looks at Chua))we have to wear mask to control the breathing to not inhale the
haze, the poisonous gaze poisonous gas. So we need to wear the mask, and then
we need to drink a lot of water, I
think. Thats the best solution that we can do now currently,
to avoid the...avoid the fever, flu and sore throat. All
that((chuckles)). Alright.((nodding))
So now Im talking about water pollution.
So, the factors involved is nowadays the farmers are... using a lot
of artificial fertilizers in order to...((moving hand)) to promote their

sales because they are going to grow more vegetables and fruits
to get more sales (pronounced as in 'sells'). Another factor is oil
spillage from- uh... all the... ((moving both hands and
thinking))ferries:::
=Yeah..
=//Yeah, the- the risk of oil externally... ((looks down on his
paper))
= Ehemm
=//and some more is the un-utilised waste product from
factories.((looks down again on his paper)) So,
this will consequently effect... that sea-marine life
and aquatic plants being damaged because of these things. Because
artificial...arti-artificial fertilizer that can promote the growth of
algae, ... It was...((Chuckles)) decreased the oxygen contained...
((looks at Ashvini)) in the sea water-sea level. So that,
a lot of aquatic plants... will die. And never be survived because
being dominant by all algaes (wrong pluralization form of 'alga'supposed to be 'algae'). And the oil spillage they will form a layer
on the surface of the sea water or river water and they will block the
sunlight and oxygen from enter the sea water.

down on his paper))able to carry out ((looks at Ashvini)) in theuh...uh:::
=Under the sea.
Yeah.((nodding)) the

=The aquatic life
=// Seaside, and (? ?)
And those waste product... would change the PH level... of sea
water.((looks at Ashvini))
Yes.
=//And which would affect the living habits of the marine life
=//Hmm ((nodding))
And eventually can cause cell mutation. Right? ((nodding and
asking))
Hmm... (nodding)
= //and for me, I think that those to solve this problem, ... we have
to use more natural fertilizer. It's better help for plants and less
opportunity of polluting aquatics. And we also have to ask the...ask
the ...the-((Chua and Hew chuckle)) ask them to -you
know-((moving hand faster than before))frequently check the oil

tank...((looks at ashvini for awhile and looks down again on his

paper))
=//Oh.
=//so that no spillage ((looks at Ashvini))
=Yeah.
=// can be happen again.((looks down on his paper))
=((looks at Hew))I think these all happen because the
irresponsibility of certain... person who's in charge of it. Right?
((asking))
Yeah,((nodding))
=//Right!
=// Who's in charge... who wants to ((moving both hands and

Yeah.
=// Just save cost maybe
Yeah.
=//Or maybe of time.
Ok, one more thing- one more thing is-uh...another pollution is soil
contamination. so it's another type of pollution..and it's
seriously-uh-because of the logging,mining. ...Right? (asking)
It causes the soil erosion and land slide. Because they're
I've -I've hear from the newspapers, because of the land slide
in ...Cameron Highland
//Yeah. (nodding)
=// There're a lot of accidents happened because of the land
slide...land slides and slides.:::
Is there any questions to ask?
((looking at Thong)) Do you have any questions to ask?
((Thong mumbles))
What's that?
What is fertilizer? ((looks downward and softly speaks))
Oh, It's fertilizer. What is fertilizer? ((looking at Hew))
Fertilizer is something that... used to promote the growth ... of
plants, sometimes like so that it can use that type of food to
generate energies and to produce fruits and vegetables, all that.:::
((nodding))
Do you understand? ((looking at Thong))
Yes.
