Pollution emitted in industrial areas represents a threat to human health and the surrounding natural resources We have a tendency to believe that the production processes are the only source of environmetal damage, and often forget about the possible long-term effects of harmful production practices We may think that the closure of these huge industrial areas would improve the quality of the environment Unfortunately, this ignores the threat of the remaining waste, which is abondoned and poorly stored It represents an even bigger danger because it stands neglected as it degrades and leaks into the earth without any control at all Changes in the water chemistry due to surface water contamination can effect all levels of an ecosystem It can effect the health of lower food chain organisms and, consequently, the

availability of food up through the food chain It can damage the health of wetlands and damage their ability to support healthy ecosystems, control flooding, and filter pollutants from storm water runoff The health of animals and humans are affected when they drink or bathe in contaminated water In addition, water-based organisms, like fish and shellfish, can pile up and concentrate contaminants in their bodies When other animals or humans eat these organisms, they receive a much higher dose of contaminants than they would have if they had been directly exposed to the original contamination

Contaminants in the soil can harm plants when they take up the contamination through their roots Ingesting, inhaling, or touching contaminated soil, as well as eating plants or animals that have accumulated soil contaminants can adversely impact the health of humans and animals Air pollution can cause breathing – related problems and other bad health effects as

contaminants are absorbed from the lungs into other parts of the body Certain air contaminants can also harm animals and humans when they contact the skin Plants rely on breathing for their growth and can also be effected by exposure to contaminants moved in the air

Read the following passage and mark the letter A,B,C,or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions

In the world today, particularly in the two most industrialized areas, North America and Europe,recycling is big news People are talking about it, practicing it, and discovering new ways to be sensitive to the environment Recycling means finding ways to use products a second time The motto of the recycling movement is"Reduce, Reuse, Recycle"

The first step is to reduce garbage In stores, a shopper has to buy products in blister packs, boxes and expensive plastic wrappings A hamburger from a fast food restaurant comes in lots of packaging: usually paper,a box, and a bag All that packaging is wasted resources People should try to buy things that are wrapped simply,and to reuse cups and utensils Another way to reduce waste is to buy high-quality products When low quality appliances break, many

customers throw them away and buy new ones - a loss of more resources and more energy For example, if a customer buys a high-quality appliance that can be easily repaired, the manufacturer receives an important message In the same way, if a customer chooses a product with less packaging, that customer sends an important message to the manufacturers To reduce garbage, the throwaway must stop

practice In those places, the garbage dumps have relatively little glass and plastic from throwaway bottles

The third step is being environmentally sensitive is to recycle Spent motor oil can be cleaned and used again Aluminum cans are expensive to make It takes the same amount of energy to make one aluminum can as it does to run a color TV set for three hours When people collect and recycle aluminum (for new cans), they help save one of the world's precious resources Question 13: What is the main topic of the passage?
