Civil Defense Gives Neighbors Advice not to Pollute the Water
Most Important Source
Water is one of the most important resources we have. It is essential. That is why we have to take care of it among all and not waste it and contaminate it with toxins and waste. It is also a resource that is running out, taking care of it is everyone's responsibility, for us and for the generations to come, "said Guillermo Bonafina, deputy secretary of security and emergencies of Lanús.
Main Couses ď ľ
The main causes that contaminate water are caused by human beings, such as the large amount of toxic waste that is thrown into rivers, lakes, etc. This can range from a person who dirties the water with large amounts of detergent to companies and factories that discard tons of poison to rivers, lakes and oceans.
Water Affects in Many Ways
It is essential to know that contaminated water affects in many ways. To begin with, it is difficult to extract it to drink it. And on the other hand it generates health problems in those people who live near a river, etc.
From home we can help with very simple tasks and instill them into our family, friends and become aware that we can all add.
Based on this Diego Kravetz , Head of Security of the Municipality of Lanús and Civil Defense we offer some recommendations to avoid polluting the water.
Important Things
. Do
not throw cigarette butts, tampons or condoms into the toilet.
. Use
small grids in the sinks, showers and dishwashers, making it possible to prevent the remains of the food from leaking into the water pipes.
. Do
not discard cooking oil to the toilet. It is recommended to dump it in a plastic container once it is cold and then throw it away.
. Check
that the detergents, soaps and cleansers that we use do not contain phosphate, because the water goes directly to the
ducts. . Do
not throw paints or solvents down the drain, as it contains many chemicals.
. Do
not throw debris, coffee or tea filters down the drain.
This
is how we can help from our own home with simple tasks.
