As you breathe, the particles and other toxins in the air enter the lungs. The lungs struggle to breath and cannot release the particles. Over time, this can lead to all types of respiratory illnesses including lung cancers, which are one of the most fatal types of cancer today.
• When water pollution or ground pollution is found, an unhealthy living environment is also created. In this situation, toxins can instantly poison some if they are ingested. If they are small amounts, they too can lead to respiratory, heart, liver and other organ problems. These too can lead to cancers.
• With noise pollution, which is another form of unhealthy living condition, the level of noise may be quite annoying.
