Solutions to Air Pollution in Madagascar
The Oxford Dictionary defines air pollution as the presence in or introduction into the air of a substance which has harmful or poisonous effects. The pollutants of air can be found in vehicles, factories, power plants, and construction sites. Long-term health effects from air pollution include heart disease, lung cancer, and respiratory diseases. The health effects of air pollution are serious, one third of deaths from stroke, lung cancer and heart disease are due to air pollution.  Air pollution in Antananarivo, Madagascar.

How can we do this? Read the article to the end... Solution N°1 : "Lessen the impact of cars"  Air pollution from cars in Madagascar. Source : https://lexpress.mg/11/11/2021/antananarivo-les-brouillards-de-pollution-sepaississent/ In Madagascar, seeing smoking cars on the streets is common. It must be said that with the rather minimal means, the Malagasy citizens cannot afford to buy new things. This is the reason why the majority of the Malagasy population is satisfied with good opportunities as well for clothing as for the means of transport. Cars and vehicles create exhaust full of carbon dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, and other pollutants. Driving less, in favor of public transportation, biking, or walking, helps decrease air pollution. Solution N°2 : "Burn less coal"  Air pollution from coal in Madagascar. Source : https://stileex.xyz/en/pollution-health/ The Malagasy people use charcoal to cook their food. Pollution from burning all fossil fuels is harmful to the atmosphere, but burning coal has a larger impact on air pollution than burning oil or gas because it releases more carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and heavy metal pollutants per unit of energy. In fact, the city is one of the most polluted in the world. Some countries, such as Japan, are increasing their use of nuclear power, and there is a global increase in electricity supplied by renewable sources such as wind, solar and water. Solution N°3 : "Avoid burning trash"  Trash burning. Source : https://weather.com/science/environment/news/burning-trash-can-be-blamed-much-worlds-air-pollution-study-says-20140827 Much of the world's air pollution can be blamed on burning garbage, including discarded plastics, busted electronics, broken furniture and food scraps. Indeed, burning trash throws pollution and toxic particles into the air. But don't panic, to avoid having to burn your waste: you can reduce by buying fewer items and choosing products with as little packaging as possible; reuse by buying products that can be reused and/or packaged in containers that can be refilled; and finally, recycle. Say no to air pollution. Be a part of the solution, not a part of the pollution.  Go green to breathe clean. Source : https://www.dreamstime.com/photos-images/air-pollution.html |
