concepts and practicing and their negative impact to health.
new skill # 1

Classification:
LAND POLLUTION
IMPROPER DISPOSAL OF GARBAGE
- Uncollected garbage or unattended waste attracts flies, cockroaches, rats,
and other creatures that in turn spread diseases.
- Germs, bacteria, and viruses carried by these pests can contaminate our
food and water and can make us sick too.
- Wet waste decomposes and releases bad odor. It can also bring respiratory
diseases and other illnesses. Garbage juice absorbed by land can
contaminate our water supply and can cause problems like diarrhea, skin
infection, and food poisoning. -

WATER POLLUTION
DUMPING GARBAGE IN THE RIVER AND OTHER BODIES OF
WATER
- The garbage dumped in the river and other bodies of water will deplete or
decrease the nutrients and oxygen supply for marine animals. This can bring
harm to water creatures. There will be a fish kill due to lack of oxygen
supply. It can also damage the habitats and nesting grounds of animals.
- When this happens, our food supply will be affected. There will be not
enough fish, shells, shrimps, squids, seaweeds, and others that will be sold
in markets or will be eaten by families because of water pollution.
- Water pollution is another problem that kills organisms that depend on
water bodies. Drinking contaminated water could cause diseases like
diarrhea and other infections. People get diseases such as hepatitis by eating
seafood that has been poisoned.

AIR POLLUTION
BURNING OF PLASTICS AND OTHER GARBAGE SUCH AS LEAVES
- Burning leaves and other wastes is harmful to one’s health. Leaf and
waste burning releases several poisons in the environment. The Department
of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) bans backyard burning of
garbage.
- Burning of leaves and waste materials is prohibited under Republic Act
9003 or the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act (Section 48, paragraph
3).
- People who will violate the Anti-Burning Law will have a fine of P300 to
P1000 or imprisonment of 1 to 15 days.
SMOKE COMING FROM FACTORIES, CIGARETTE SMOKING AND
SMOKE-BELCHING VEHICLES
- We could experience coughing or difficulty of breathing if we inhale air
pollutants also called particulate matter (PM) from dust, dirt, and smoke.
Breathing or inhaling toxic air pollutants could trigger allergies and asthma
attacks. We will have respiratory and nervous system problems!
- Pregnant women who are exposed to air pollutants will have their
children develop birth defects. Preterm or premature birth, low birth weight
and defects of the mouth and lip may happen to babies. It may also increase
the risk of sudden infant death syndrome or (SIDS).
- Exposure to smoke pollutants from cars, construction sites, industries and
fires can affect both our lungs and heart. If you live near a factory that
releases toxic air, you are at risk of getting cancer and other disorders.

Put the crumpled paper in the Yes Trash can if the statement shows or
depicts a poor environmental sanitation that can greatly affect one’s health
and put the plastic bottle in the No Trash can if it does not show poor
environmental sanitation.
