Air Pollution and its Effects on Man

In the Name of Allah, The Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Dangers of Air pollution on human health: Undoubtedly, what man does to the environment reflects negatively on his own health and life. Even if it may seem to some that what man does helps improve his life conditions, what man does helps destroy his life in a great many ways.
Air pollution by carbon monoxide will remain so long as cars, airplanes and machines in factories or farms exist. But what does this gas do?

It simply unites with the hemoglobin of the human blood. Carbon dioxide, which is also emitted by cars, airplanes and all other vehicles of internal combustion engines, also unites with hemoglobin, which is the red iron element in the human blood. When carbon dioxide unites with iron in the blood, it expels Oxygen carried by the blood, which causes decrease of Oxygen necessary for cells of the body. So,
what happens?
The pulse beat increases, and so does action of the respiratory system, which causes tension and stress that lead to a great many heart and chest diseases. When a person breathes air that contains a ratio of carbon monoxide of 80/1000,000 of the air for eight hours, he feels choked. When you walk for eight hours in a crowded street, with so many cars sending off this poisonous gas, you breathe in 80/1000,000 of the air of this gas. But what happens? The speed at which Oxygen is carried into the blood decreases by 15%, which causes blood to lose its basic qualities and functions.

And when traffic becomes so heavy, and when streets become over-crowded with different kinds of vehicles at rush hours, carbon monoxide becomes 40/1,000,000 of the air. That is why dwellers of places where traffic is so heavy show symptoms of headache, poisoning, weak vision, lack of muscle-symmetry, nausea, and a lot of internal illnesses. In more excessive cases these symptoms are accompanied by loss of consciousness and sometimes even death.

Air polluted by carbon dioxide is the consequence of our modern civilization, which considers that a person’s high social class is only determined by driving a luxurious car in heavily crowded streets that abound in carbon dioxide! Moreover, carbon dioxide is also responsible for the increase in the rate of such diseases as chronic asthma, cute bronchitis, among many sh3er.

Conclusion: Human life has been originally created pure and clean; and it is we that have made it dirty and impure by both our machines and immoral characters. The problem is that there are so many kinds of pollution. The atmosphere has now become polluted by noise, since constant loud noise causes a lot of illnesses to mankind. Poisonous gases are also another serious source of pollution of air and environment. In fact, everything that man makes for his own luxury, he loses thereby his own health, safety, and purity. Of course I am inviting you to shun your cars, but I just want to show you some of the negative consequences of the Western Civilization on the human environment.
Praise be to Allah, the Lord of Creations
