Pollution crisis in Malaysia

Pollution Crisis is a major problem all around the world. It has affected the lives of millions of people and caused many deaths and health disorders.
Pollution is caused by a chemical or other agent that renders part of the environment unfit for intended or desired use. It deserves emphasis that the environment also refers to the place where you live. 
There are basically 3 types of Pollution. They are air pollution , water pollution and land pollution.
 Each year industrially developed countries generate billions of tons of pollutants. Many pollutants come from directly  sources; sulphur dioxide, for example, comes from electric power plants burning coal or oil.  For example, ozone, a dangerous pollutant in smog, is produced by the interaction of hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides under the influence of sunlight. Ozone has also caused serious crop damage. The increasing number of vehicles have also lead to an increase in Air Pollution, due to the harmful gases like Carbon Monoxide emitted from these vehicles. Gases generated in the Chemical plants also cause air pollution. People suffer because of smoke and bad smell from the industrial units particularly from chemical plants.
The wastewater and liquids from plants and factories are linked with nearby river water, which are polluted when they release disposal from these units. People in Developing/Undeveloped countries also pollute rivers by using the water in these rivers for washing clothes, utensils, bathing and other activities.Oil spilled from ships pollute oceans around the world
 Dumping of wastes in many areas is a major cause of Soil Pollution. Also, when soil in and near production areas becomes dirty due to disposal of waste material, such land cannot be used for agricultural operations.
So lets together prevent these crisis from now!
