| People cause the most pollution
in the Amazon. They account for most of the pollution via industrial means. Recent
industrial expansion into the Amazon has caused vital destruction of the plants, animals,
and environment. Corporations have setup ranching facilities where once forests grew. In
order to get rid of trees, slash and burn techniques had to been used. Corporations have
also setup textile mills, mines, and factories which contribute to the environment
destruction by leaking hazardous materials into the rivers, tributaries, and make-shift
landfills. The
indigenous people of the Amazon is also the victims. There homes are being invaded and
their lives are being destroyed due to factory emmisions and other pollutants. The
pollutants are hazardous to their health and destructive to their minds for many of these
pollutants can be carcinogenic and mentally harming. |
