Air pollution affects people’s health
#UMOYAOBULALAYO
Living in coal affected communities and coal fired power stations that minds their businesses is hard. Because the production of coal and the burning of coal is having huge impacts in human’s health.
During the extraction of coal, the mine blast thus creating air pollution mixed with the chemicals used for blasting which is harmful to our health and wellbeing including the streams that supply us with water during water shortages.
It’s slim for people living in the Highveld not relying on medication due to breathing toxic air pollution. Most women who are trying to make sure they provide for their families will take off days and ask someone to fill their space at work to take care of their loved ones due to hard breathing problems that needs parent attention.
What is it that our government doesn’t understand on that to make sure they enforce the law and protects the rights of people living in the high polluted areas.
Is sad that the air pollution is already in the public domain but still nothing is up for communities most affected by the pollution.
Women and children are most affected and most women are carrying the cross by making sure their loved once are safe at all times. It is very hard as these situations are most in low income communities and even the health facilities are not ready on solving the problem.
