Environmental problems in S. João da Madeira


S. João da Madeira, being a small town, has a lot of pollution, which has a big impact on the environment.
Among the main environmental problems we have:

Air Pollution
Water Pollution
Land Contamination





Air Pollution

 
With the high number of vehicles circulating in the streets and a big number of factories, there is a lot of air pollution, because they send into the atmosphere big quantities of CO2.






 Land Contamination

There are some areas in S. João da Madeira, where the fields are polluted, not only because the human put trash there, but also because of the use of chemicals, fertilizers, among other substances in agriculture. Lands contain substances that may harm not only the environment but also the human health.



 

Water Pollution  
Nowadays, it’s very usual to walk by some rivers and see that pollution is everywhere.
With this problem the water will affect not only the organics which live there, but also the plants.
The main cause of water pollution is the dumping, directly or indirectly, of waste into the rivers.
