Environmental pollution is a serious modern-day problem for any county and its cities all

over the world, and the situation is only getting worse for the most part. Anyway, today, I
would like to talk about the same pollution problem which my city is also facing
increasingly.

Not too long ago, my city used to be considered as one of the safest cities in my country as
far as environmental pollution is concerned. In fact, many people from around my whole
country settled down in my city in the past because of its greenery, clean air and clean
water.  But, today, the situation has dramatically changed because its air is not completely
safe to inhale because there are just too many vehicles on the roads and streets today that
emit carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide. And, we all know how these
ingredients pollute our atmosphere and air.

As far as the surface water of my city is concerned, it is also contaminated because of too
much industrial and toxic waste. Another type of indirect environmental pollution, which is
affecting my city, is that its lands and trees are being used (some would say
“destroyed”) indiscriminately in order to make rooms for residential and industrial buildings.
And, as this happens, it takes away the oxygen supplies of my city. Anyway, as this
environmental pollution takes place, people in my city are increasingly suffering from lung
diseases and other kinds of respiratory problems, especially, during the cold weather. 
Besides, the city also has to spend extra money in order to purify its drinking water, which
is putting extra pressure on its budget.

This pollution can be controlled by first limiting the number of private vehicles on the roads
to reduce carbon emission in the atmosphere. The city should also put in place a more
efficient filtering system in order to stop the industrial toxic waste from entering the source
of water supply. Finally, the city should adopt a scheme of planting more trees in and
around the city in order to cleanse its polluted air.

Describe the environmental pollution in your city.

You should say:
 what type of pollution it is
 why it happened
 what are the effects of this pollution
