What is pollution?

Pollution is the deterioration of the environment and

the consequences of harmful substances or the
exaggerated increase of some of these.

Types of contamination:

Well, we have the atmospheric, hydric, soil,

radioactive, thermal, visual, acoustic, electromagnetic
and food contamination.

But today I will only talk about radioactive

contamination.

This one of the most dangerous and aggressive types of

pollution with life. It is produced by the release of
radioactive material .

Radioactivity is a physical phenomenon in witch the

nuclei of several chemical elements produce radiation,
its main characteristic is that it can ionize gases,
produces fluorescence, impresses radiographic plates,
among others.
It also has negative characteristics. Radioactive waste
is highly dangerous.

Its main causes are:

*The manufacture of nuclear fuel.
*The dumping of waste into the environment.
*The experiments carried out by the defense.

Its main consequences are:

*If a person has been in contact with some type of
radioactivity, it could cause cancer, degenerative
defects, leukemia, burns or death.

¿Why is it considered a global problem?

It is considered a global problem depending on how the
human being causes it.

¿How is the problem in Chile?

Only one case was presented in Chile, in December
2005, at Celco’s Cellulose plant, which affected people
with multiple injuries and internal burns. As a
consequences, these people were prohibited the
procreation because they would present genetic
mutations.
Tips or suggestions:
*They could use dangerous radiation in a place where
it does not harm the environment.
* We must avoid dumping radioactive waste into our
environment
*They could stop making denotation test of a future
nuclear weapon.
*They should close nuclear plants that are not used for
a global goal.
*They must stop using nuclear radios in industries.
*They could have more caution, since it harms.

Conclusion:
I could conclude that radioactivity has negative and
positive sides. Negative because it makes us a lot of
damage and positive because we obtained advances in
medicine.

Thank you!
