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
environmental 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 abandoned 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 and affect all levels of
ecosystem. It can affect the health of lower 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 run off.
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
contaminant than they would have if they had been directly exposed to the original contamination.

A. The pollution from the city. B. The quality of the environment

A. a threat to human health B. a danger to the environment
C. the only source of pollution D. the utmost harmful activity

A. a danger B. the remaining waste
C. the threat of the remaining waste D. the environment

C. Soil contamination D. Air contamination
