Have you noticed the increased pollution in our city lately? What do you think is causing it?
The three main forms of environmental pollution are classified into air, water, and land pollution.
Pollutions are caused by the disposal of contaminants to environment.
Shall we have a look on each of the type of pollutions and what are the biotechnology's role on easing the pollutions?
Sure, let's go!
Majority of environmental pollutions are mainly caused by large-scale human activities as well as natural disaster.
Natural disaster
Human activities
The water bodies around the city were polluted, and the air was thick with smog.
Accumulation of solid waste can contaminate groundwater and cause land pollution.
Biotechnology can help!
Environmental pollution is a serious issue that challenge humanity. What are your thoughts on how we can address it?
We need to find a solution to this problem.
Biotechnology had emerged as a powerful tool to mitigate environmental pollution.
Biotechnology solutions for pollution, such as genetically modified plants, bioremediation, and biodegradable plastics.
Thanks to these crops, we don't have to use harmful pesticides anymore!
Microorganisms can be used to clean up polluted sites
Bioremediation taking place by microbes to remove contaminants
Thanks to biotechnology, the environment is getting cleaner every day!
Biodegradable plastic break down quickly without causing harm to environment
Biofiltration, biofuels, bioscrubber
With the help of biotechnology, we can create a cleaner, greener world.
Biotechnology's vital role in mitigating environmental pollution help to build a better future for ourselves and our planet.
We should also learn the importance of taking care of the environment and vow to do everything in our power to ensure that the environment remained clean and green for generations to come.
