Citizen Pollution
Citizen pollution is a phenomenon that is closely linked to the consumer society that has had tremendous growth in the last century. Basically without going into academic definitions is the use of products made in large quantities componenentes chemicals that harm human habitat or after use, waste or debris become polluting forms of the earth's surface and its evaporation produces changes in the natural composition of the atmosphere causing environmental damage and consequently on the health of the inhabitants.
One of the icons of this pollution, but not the only, universal growth and the use of plastics in a wide range of everyday products. The replacement of the glass (recycled materials) in the manufacture of packaging and container, the evolution of technology and the proliferation of devices composed of this element as well as the well known contamination massively plastic bags used in supermarkets.
Another factor is undoubtedly linked the increase in electricity consumption in daily life, one of the most provocative of pollution-generating power plants based on coal and oil, causing heavy dioxide emissions carbon dioxide (CO2). That is, until there is a significant change in the generator matrix of energy, the use of electrical energy is directly proportional to the pollution.
You can not miss the mention of automobiles powered combustion of petroleum fuels such as heavy pollution triggers citizen. For decades there are urban centers such as Santiago de Chile, and Mexico, that the circulation of the fleet should be planned to travel 4 days a week because the so-called "smog", which is nothing but carbon monoxide (CO2).
The excessive use of paper using pulp raw material is an indirect pollutant citizen, as the generation of the pulp, causing deforestation in areas considered lungs of the world, as is the prime example of the Amazon in Brazil . We do not link these things easily, but the consequences are further determinants of climate change to cause damage to the layer of the atmosphere designed to filter the input ultraviolet rays from the sun
But the list of pollutants is long and all citizens are guilty of any, as the "comfort" that we produce make us forget the evil that will cause the environment. As an exercise of memory, mentioned batteries, car batteries, cell batteries, PET containers, tires, electronics components.
