Diary Game Season 3||26.06.2021||Land Pollution in Aba|| By @jaspichman125

Good day everyone, how has been your weekend so far? Mine has been awesome.
I took my time to stroll down the streets of Aba town, Abia state. While scouring the streets I discovered something which I would like to share with you.

It's about:
Land Pollution in Aba Town

A heap of refuse somewhere in Aba

Pollution refers to any unpleasant change of the environment due to addition of refuse, sewage or other forms of wastes. It is generally due to the activities of man.

Types of pollution includes: water pollution, air pollution, noise pollution and land (soil) pollution.

Land pollution can therefore be defined as the dumping of rubbish (refuse) and chemicals on land by man which causes harm to both plants and animals as well as man himself.

This heap of wastes blocks the passage due to improper dumping

The pungent odour from the garbage also causes air pollution

Improper dumping of wastes blocks waterways which in turn causes flooding, erosion and bad road conditions

There's a designated place for dumping of rubbish or dirts in virtually all the communities in Aba, so it is always advisable to dispose refuse at the designated areas.

Improper dumping of dirts can cause disease outbreak because the rubbish serves as the breeding ground of vectors of diseases such as typhoid, cholera and malaria

It also causes general untidiness of a particular place or community.

Conclusion:

• It is very important for us to learn how to properly dump our dirts or refuse
• Dumping of garbage should be done at the designated areas
• Disposal of garbage in or along waterways is wrong
• Let's protect our environment by properly adhering to environmental laws

Stay tuned for my follow-up post on this topic
