Water Waste Pollution
Factories Pollution
The factories are polluting the water by putting a lot acid in it. This acid goes with
the water to the clouds and becomes acid rain. The acid rain is very bad for plants
to grow and is poisonous to beings. But this is what’s happening in some
countries. Some countries, like China, have a lot of factories that produces a lot of
things. And so, it produces a lot of pollution. And some of this pollution go to the
rivers and oceans, which leads to other countries and pollute them.
But the factories can’t do all the polluting; this is only the Industrial Pollution, or
point source pollution. There is one other main pollution source. This called nonpoint source pollution. It comes from all the homes and daily use facilities.
This pollution goes to the rivers, and while it is there, animals that use the water
gets sick and even die. The dirty water is full of poisonous chemicals. There are
also much garbage in there, such as plastic, water bottles, and other wastes.
Here are some photos of pollution here:

Third World Pollution
Now here we may not know that poorer countries means worse pollution. These
poor countries are called Third World Nations. Now, if you want to know why
Third World Nations are polluted, this is why:
These countries are often very poor, so it’s a choice to them. Food vs.
Environment. These countries always chose food because this is what they
seemed important to them.
Some rich, First World countries took advantage of these countries. They dump
garbage and other waste into developing countries. But they might also build
plants, which emit considerable pollutions, in these Third World Nations in order
to avoid the regulations these companies would face at home.
Countries in Latin America, Eastern Europe, Africa, and Asia are the main victims
of this pollution. In addition to this kind of pollution, these poor countries also
suffer pollution caused by poverty and war.
Many pollutions arise at Third World Nations. Air pollution, water pollution,
deforestation, desertification, soil erosion, and poisoning are mainly caused there.
Luckily, the Third World Nations aware of these problems and are growing
towards to fixing these pollutions, the United Nations and other environmental
organizations are trying to prevent companies to dump garbage in these areas,
enlisting First World countries to help clean up these pollutions, and many, many,
more. Hopefully, with these help, the Third World Nations are to be able to get
out of all that pollution.

Economy Growth pollution
Factories from other countries are polluting their countries
because of their economy. Like China, they have a rapidgrowing economy and a super-polluted country. Many of the
countries that are polluted are making things for us. For
example, check the little tag on your clothing. Which one
isn’t made by China, Mexico, or other polluted countries? But
what we don’t know is that we can make pollution spread.
This is exactly what is happening. For example, a water
bottle thrown at a China shore could be found on a Canadian
shore. The most polluted substance right now is water. All
the factories need water, so some factories put their factory
very close to a river or lake, and use the water there. After
some time, the river or lake gets polluted and goes to sea.
And when they are making water bottles out of plastic, they
DON’T USE
PLASTIC WATER
BOTTLES!
pollute the most, so please,
