Polluted air

Everyday people in Jakarta have to face the consequences of inhaling polluted air, mostly caused by the cars, motorbikes and buses jamming the busy streets. Respiratory airments are a particular problem, for those spending must their day on the roads, such as policeman and street-vendors.

So I reach to the point that Jakarta has an unhealthy air in the past five years. There were only 53 days with clean air in 2004, leaving more than 300 days. The pollution in Jakarta consist mostly of sulphur dioxide, carbon monoxide, and dust particles. Which seventy percent of the air pollution is produced by motorcycles, cars, buses, taxis, and trucks. As a Jakarta citizen this problem is make me concern because if we in a long time exposure to high carbon monoxide levels it can cause brain and lung damage. So I think we have to take more attention for this problem. You can do it with a lot of way such ; don’t use your privat bikes like car or motorbike if its not really important to do then you can use the alternative way like go by train or bus and I think it can saving more gasoline so if not to much gasoline it will not to much pollutan to, right. And if you want to go out side you can use mask to cover your mouth and nose. Then you can drinking vitamins and traditional herbal medicine to maintence your endurance. And I hope if we take care of our physical fitness the pollution will not affect us. Then let me tell you that if we are not take more attention to this problem from now I believe that as soon as possible we will have a huge disadvantageous which is part of fuel powering vehicles.
