18. • Essay text about Water Pollution
Water pollution has affected many people and animals. There are many causes for
water pollution. The main one is plastics. The reason for that is that plastics take four
hundred and fifty years to decompose in the water. Also many companies use plastic
and people throw it in the waterways. Because water can float and be carried by the
wind, it can cause harm to unsuspecting creatures hundreds of feet from where it was
originally dumped. Such waste includes bags, bottles, cups, straws, cup lids, utensils,
six pack holders, cling wrap, fishing line, bait bags, and floats.
The second highest cause of water pollution is ship waste. Ships used to
take much garbage with them on their ships and dump them. This was very common
until the government took action. They were giving sailors up to one million
dollars fines for disposing waste. Because of that, ships now carry less garbage
with them.
Animals are not the only thing being harmed by water wastes. Fishing
lines, rope, and plastic nets are being caught in the ruttier and the engine, but
the ships are not exactly perfect.
The other main cause of water pollution is industrial waste. Industries
do not be harmed by water pollution but the cause much it. Many companies pour
chemicals into the waterways. Some of the businesses that contribute to the
water pollution are businesses that repair and maintain motor vehicles,
electroplate, operate printing and coping equipment, perform dry cleaning and
laundry services, process photographs, operate labs.
