Environment Water Soil Remediation
The environment is constantly under assault.
Water and soil remediation costs billions of dollars annually.
Until the past forty years, the exact causes of water pollution went ignored.
Ocean dumping was only a part of the problem.
The major factor in water pollution is literally much closer to home than the enormous oceans that dwarf land masses.
In many parts of the world, water is so seriously polluted that the number of deaths resulting from polluted drinking water is a common statistic.
How did pure streams of water become so massively polluted? Toxic chemicals spewed into the air that manifests into toxic rainfall that ends up in waterways and soil is the answer.
The environment is self-recyclable and self-cleaning-unless it is compromised by an imbalance of toxicity.
Blaming cows for producing methane gas is an absurdity when landfills that result from domestic and commercial waste produces ten times the amount of one small herd of cattle.
Environment water soil take a serious hit even when remedial regulations are complied with.
In most governments, it isn't unusual to "allow" certain parts per billion of noxious contaminants.
Those that are carcinogens are listed in environmental agencies's top ten hazardous materials.
Asbestos, barium, cadmium, lead, zinc and others lead these lists.
In the environment, protecting water and soil as well as air is a full-time battle waged with less progress than surgical recuperation.
Governmental agencies are programmed to place restraints on only the most immediately hazardous substances to protect human life.
However, without direct intervention into the causes of environment water soil pollution, well known to these agencies, environmental regulations are only minimally enforced.
The choices become health and safety for humans or protecting energy and big business, the culprits for the millions of tons of toxic chemicals dumped into waterways and landfills.
In the USA, as an example, the Environmental Protection Agency, under the Bush Administration has passed legislation recently allowing the dumping of millions of tons of coal wastes into rivers, lakes and other large bodies of water.
The result of this may not be immediate.
The coal mining industries will ultimately bear no responsibility for future toxic waters that will endanger human life.
And, those in the Bush Administration responsible for such actions will no longer be in positions of accountability.
This is an assault on environment water soil and, not to mention the entire environment ecologically.
The reality of such irresponsible actions will only be addressed when serious illness is proven to be a direct result of such pollution.
The environmental equation is fraught with complex rhetoric that insists upon remediation rather than prevention.
Protecting the profits of big corporations is considered somehow more beneficial than protecting water and soil and insuring a safe, healthy environment.
To most anti-environmentalists their compelling argument is a signature paranoia of loss of profit rather than loss of human life or avoiding ecological and environmental disaster.
