Pollution is a dirty word.To pollute means to make things unfit(不合适的)or unclean to use.Pollution comes in many ways.We see it,smell it ,taste it and drink it.Pollution is beginning to threaten(威胁)our health ,or happiness and our life.
Man.has been polluting the earth from the time he first made fire,washed his clothes in the
river and threw his waste on the ground.When land was used up or water became dirty.men
