Hello everyone and welcome to the environmentalist. You might wonder what the objective of a blog on the environment is. Well the subject of the environment has always fascinated me, the environment defined as everything around me. These includes components such as land, water bodies and air. Activities such as mining, oil exploration and gas flaring has begun to affect the environment, deteriorating living conditions and threatening the very world we lived in. It becomes imperative, therefore, to have more skilled environmental pollution experts and hence my interests. You will be surprised at how much environmental hazards you are exposed to everyday, from little things such as the vegetables you eat, where they are grown from, to the source of water you drink as well as toxic gases that are inhaled everyday. In Bangladesh for example, the ground and surface waters are contaminated with arsenic (a mettalloid) which can cause skin lesions as well as cancer and death from chronic exposure.The pollutants we come in contact with everyday vary from gaseous to liquid and solid molecules and cause severe health hazards on short and long term exposure to living things as well as non living things such as buildings.
This blog aims to help contribute to a greener environment with less pollutants and therefore a reduced health risk potential to plants, animals and humans which can lead to a longer and happier life. So i hope you'll join me as we journey through the environment together to improve the standards of our living and life.
