What are the three bombs in the human living environment?

1. Chemical Bomb 1998 During the "May Day" period, Qiaohu Lake, a village official in Hongshan Township, Hongshan District, Wuhan City, was released by the "big bang" of pollutants originally adsorbed by sediments in the lake, killing more than 300,000 Jin of fish. This kind of environmental chemical bomb is not a temporary achievement, but the result of long-term environmental pollution. Due to the long-term mild pollution of the lake, the sediments at the bottom of the lake constantly absorb pollutants in the stored water and are "detonated" under certain external conditions, and a large number of pollutants originally absorbed are released during the explosion, resulting in a sudden environmental event-environmental chemical bomb explosion. This kind of bomb makes people unprepared and often causes the death of biota. On July 30, 2002, the first edition of Science Times reported that the massive death of fish in East Lake waters sounded the environmental alarm again: "In recent days, the temperature in Wuhan has dropped from above 40 degrees Celsius to below 30 degrees Celsius. The sudden change of weather has led to a large area of fish death in the eutrophic East Lake waters of Wuhan ... and the cause of death will be further investigated. " Our analysis is probably because the temperature suddenly changed greatly, which led to the explosion of chemical bombs. Our water, air and land are constantly polluted, just like we keep loading explosives into barrels, and if there is a spark, it will explode. Once it explodes, people may die in groups like fish.

2. Hormone Bomb Because we constantly discharge various pollutants into the environment where we live, these chemicals are absorbed by crops and livestock and transferred to the human body; Some enter the human body through drinking water and beverages, some enter the human body through the respiratory system, and gradually accumulate in the human body through the digestive system, respiratory system and circulatory system. After a series of chemical and physiological effects, it has the function similar to hormone, so it is called environmental hormone. Environmental hormones can interfere with and change the quantity and nature of hormone secretion in human body, resulting in the decline of sperm quality, mobility and abnormal sperm. Environmental hormones have also increased the number of children born with disabilities. For example, during the Vietnam War in the 1960s, the US military dropped 45 million liters of chemicals in Vietnam, resulting in 500,000 children suffering from severe limb deformities and extremely low intelligence after the Vietnam War, and the number of children suffering from cancer increased. Environmental hormones can also make babies born blind. For example, a couple in the United States claimed $3.98 million from a chemical company because their second child was blinded by the pesticide "Banlet", an environmental hormone. Environmental hormones can also cause genital abnormalities, hearing loss and congenital heart disease in infants. Environmental hormones make male fish in Britain, France, Japan and other countries become female fish; Polar bear females become males; 80% of birds in Florida lose their fertility; The hatching rate of crocodiles decreased from 90% to 18%, and the surviving crocodiles had short penises and low female reproductive ability. Canadian seagulls died shortly after birth, and survivors were also deformed in large numbers; Six kinds of animals, such as fish, birds and mammals, living in Lake Gleiter, USA, are also affected by environmental factors, and their offspring cannot grow into adults. Even if a few are mature, they can't reproduce. These facts are the warning of environmental hormones to human beings. If humans still ignore them, they will continue to pollute. Once the huge bomb of environmental hormones explodes, human beings will fall into extinction like the creatures in Lake Gleiter.

3. Environmental Disease Bomb Minamata disease and pain in Japan broke out in 1950s. The tragic situation of the deceased was unusual, and the doctors were at a loss, because this disease was unprecedented in human history. It is not caused by bacteria, viruses, or genetic diseases, but a non-traditional disease. Geologists call it "ecological environmental geological disease" (environmental disease for short). This disease is caused by environmental pollution, and toxic elements such as mercury and cadmium are inhaled into the human body through food transmission. There is no cure, only prevention. This is a non-traditional disease. With the increasingly serious environmental pollution, there are more and more environmental diseases, which have become the main factor of modern human death. Every year, 40% of the deaths in the world are caused by environmental diseases. The health of 80 million people in the United States is threatened by air pollution, and about 1 654,380,000 children in poor areas around the world have died of environmental diseases. Now it is the automobile world, and the use of leaded gasoline makes 100 countries in the world potentially dangerous, because lead pollution will make children's brains stunted, mentally retarded and even demented, and will also cause permanent brain damage to adults. More than 80% of cancers in the world are related to the environment, especially skin cancer, cancers of respiratory system and digestive system. Cancer is probably an environmental disease. Studies have shown that at least 16% of hypertension is related to lead pollution.

There are three kinds of bombs around human beings: chemical bombs will kill people in an instant; Hormone bombs will make mankind extinct; Environmental disease bomb is a soft and blunt butcher's knife, which kills human slowly and painfully. If our environment continues to be polluted as it is today, these three "environmental bombs" may explode in the middle or end of the 2/kloc-0 century, and then human beings will disappear like dinosaurs hitting meteorites.

65 million years ago, the sudden change of environment made dinosaurs disappear from the earth. For the explosion consequences of chemical bombs, hormone bombs and environmental disease bombs in some areas today, human beings have to reflect. Are some of our actions today creating a blockbuster that suddenly changes the environment?
