Opposition against The Set Up of a Factory in Taman Pelita
Regarding to the matter above, all of the residents in Taman Pelita strongly oppose the set up of a new factory near our housing area as it would bring more harmful effects than advantages to the people and environment here. Environmental contamination and people health problems are major cons of having a large factory nearby. Having a factory can be the major contributing factor to the increasing of pollutions such as thermal pollution, chemical pollution, air pollution, and noise pollution. Below are several devastating effects that would afflict the residents and magnificent environment of my housing area by having a factory nearby.
2. The use of water as a coolant by power plants and industrial manufacturers of the factory would definitely cause thermal pollution where the temperature of water in the river of Taman Pelita would increase. When the temperature is increasing even one to two degree Celsius, it can give negative impact to the aquatic organisms. Warm water temperature may lower the oxygen content in water. Lower of the oxygen content can affect aquatic organisms’ respiration rate aquatic organisms is needed oxygen consumption in fast rate. For example, when water in an area warms more than they can tolerate, species that cannot move, such as rooted plants and shellfish will die. Species that can move, such as fish, will leave the area in search of cooler conditions but when they cannot find the cooler area, the aquatic organisms will die.
3. Chemical Pollution would also happen when harzadous chemicals from the factory are exposed to the environment, either by dumping them into sewage plants, where excess waste ends up in the ground. A good example of this is nuclear waste. When industrial wastes containing poisonous chemicals are dumped carelessly, they
