Toxic waste 
They are a type of hazardous waste that can cause harmful effects on the health of humans and other animal species.

Industrial water pollution is mainly caused


 These toxic compounds are really by the discharge of compounds and
harmful to people's health, since chemicals harmful to water. This makes this
they can cause the following resource useless for human beings, since it is
diseases and problems: not suitable for consumption or for use in
 Hormonal disruptions purposes, such as agriculture or
 Reproductive system damage recreational activities. In addition, it also
 Skin problems (dermatitis) endangers the lives of other living beings,
 Cancer both animals and plants.
 Filtration in food chains, soils
and underground aquifers.
 These are just some of the
reasons why you should perform
an industrial cleaning of liquid
waste every so often, and avoid
discarding them directly in the
water of the seas and rivers.
BURNING OF FORESTS
 It is a process generally
caused by human action,
in which the forest area is
destroyed. It is the fire
that spreads without
control in forest land and
affecting plant fuels that
were not destined to burn.
Car Smoke
 The internal combustion
engines of vehicles emit
various types of gases and
particles that pollute the
environment, the products
emitted in greater quantities
are: nitrous oxides (NOx),
carbon monoxide (CO),
carbon dioxide (CO2) , volatile
organic compounds and also
macroparticles.
How pharmaceutical chemists
pollute the environment
The medicines have a life cycle
that goes from its manufacture to Among the medications
its consumption and subsequent that have been measured
elimination of the organism in waters are some over-
through urine and / or feces. But the-counter and some
its effect does not end there, they
over-the-counter
have an impact on the
environment through the waste
medications, including
that reaches the waters and soil. analgesics-anti-
inflammatories such as
Contamination of medicines in diclofenac and
water sources not only comes acetylsalicylic acid
from wastewater that carries the (aspirin),
excreta of people (household
antihypertensives such as
waste) and patients who have
used them (hospital waste), but atenolol or propanolol,
also from industrial, animal and and antibiotics such as
waste disposal inappropriate tetracyclines,
medication (for example, vancimycin,
throwing them into the aminoglycosides, among
bathroom). others.
SMOKE FACTORIES AND
CARS
 Factories are responsible for much of the
planet's pollution. The smoke they generate
results in conclusive gases for the
atmosphere, and also solid waste that
pollutes the soil and water.
 There are ways to do it. Currently, there are
filters and devices for chimneys in industries
that prevent the spread of toxic substances,
and can also be reused in production. With
this, when manufacturing a product, all
polluting gases are eliminated, which instead
of going to the atmosphere, are used again to
produce.
Burning tires
The burning of tires has a rather
harmful effect on humans. It is one of
the causes of diseases such as cancer
and a great pollutant for the
environment, because they contain
high levels of lead, steel and
cadmium, which are harmful to
health. Mainly they attack the human
respiratory system, giving rise to the
immediate or progressive appearance
of broncho-respiratory diseases,
asthma chokes and even cancer. They
also cause affections to the skin, eyes
and even heart failure.
Petroleum

 
Petroleum is a very dark or
black mineral oil and is found
in sediment rocks. Oil spills
and waste produce an
alteration of the original
substrate in which plant species
are implanted leaving soil
unusable for years and causing
the death of the species that
inhabit the place of affectation.
 
Aerosols and their impact on
the environment
 Air pollution is caused by the
presence in the air of substances
such as nitrogen, carbon
monoxide and volatile organic
compounds (VOCs). VOCs are
pollutants that, in contact with
sunlight, can produce ozone gas
in the lowest layer of the Earth's
atmosphere. This can cause
deterioration of air quality,
leading to the formation of smog.
