Add commas to the following passage. There should be 20 commas.
Recently the state of the environment has become a popular subject on television and the radio. This is due to the growing speed with which people are polluting it especially in modern cities with many factories.
Pollution takes places when chemicals and waste matter from industries dirty and damage the atmosphere rivers seas and soil. It is one of the most worrying problems of the industrial world.
Many plants and animals are being endangered by harmful chemicals discharged by factories. For instance the smoke that comes out of factory chimneys contains gases which after mixing with the water in the air returns to earth in the form of acid rain.
Acid rain can wear away the paint and concrete of buildings or destroy entire lakes and other wildlife areas by killing or poisoning all the living things living in or near them. It can even cause health problems if it enters drinking water or skin problems in people if it is very acidic.
This is however only one form of pollution. The smoke and dust emitted by cars and other vehicles can cause breathing problems especially in the elderly and young children. There are even more complicated types of air pollution that can alter the climate itself.
Pollution also takes place when people do not dispose of their trash properly. Badly built and managed dumping grounds are unhealthy and unsightly and there are now fewer places left to bury all our waste. Still people are now throwing away more rubbish than ever.
Finally there is a deadly invisible form of pollution - nuclear waste which comes from the substances that nuclear power stations use to produce energy. It can cause cancer skin disease and illness if not disposed of properly.
Pollution is a difficult problem to tackle because we would have to change the way we live our lives and make certain products. This can only be done once people realize that we have only one earth and that we have to take care of it.
