In order to survive, clean water and air are two of the main resources that every human needs. Yet, the availability of clean water is slowly decreasing. The largest single factor for this change is the lack of care by the human race. Non- availability of clean water and air has a powerful effect on our health. Due to polluted air and water, we absorb huge amounts of chemicals that only deteriorate our good health. Lack of access to clean air can cause many different health problems such as asthma and various kinds of cancer can have damaging effects on the brain as well as the nervous system. Which is why we need to do what we can to reduce its spread.
