Chemicals at War Against Man
In the modern world, different forms of pollution take oxygen from the air, rivers and oceans. In our cities,
vehicles and factories swallow oxygen, and their fumes poison the air with carbon dioxide (CO2). This
urban pollution spoils the air we breathe. It is the major cause of diseases such as lung and skin cancers. If
nothing is done to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, most of us will die of these diseases.
In the countryside, fertiliserswhich contain phosphorus and sulphur spill over into rivers. As a result, fish is
dying in increasing numbers, and aquatic life is suffocating from luck of oxygen.
Rural pollution is as dangerous to man as urban pollution. For example, scientists at the University of
Rochester (USA) have found that most pesticides used on food crops are toxic, and some of them are the
main cause of Parkinson’s disease, an incurable illness that afflicts one million Americans.

Read the text , then do the tasks below:

Air pollution is one of the major problems in these days. This form of pollution happens when harmful
materials such as smoke and chemicals are released into the air. Air pollution can be caused by fumes
coming from cars, trucks and factories. However, some sources of air pollution can come from nature such
as volcanic eruptions, dust storms and forest fires. Air pollution have dangerous effects on people and the
environment. It can make people sick since it make it hard for people to breath and cause diseases such as
lung cancer and heart disease. Air pollution is responsible for the change in climate which results in global
warming.To help reduce air pollution, people can ride their bikes or walk if they are able to. This helps
reduce the amount of exhaust released in the air from vehicles. Moreover, planting more trees is one of the
best ways to prevent and control air pollution.
1. Choose the right answer: The text is:
a. Narrative.(tells a story) b. Expository.(explains and describes something)
2. Underline the topic sentence in the text.
