Cleanliness is a very important habit used in our daily lives. It is taught by our parents since our childhood. When we talk about cleanliness we might just think about keeping ourselves and our houses clean but almost nobody is even bothered to look for a dustbin for throwing garbage. Urination in open makes our environment dirty and foul smelling, spitting here and there again makes our surroundings dirty, we throw garbage here and there without thinking that others might step on it. Then germs and flies are attracted to it and carry the germs wherever they go. Then they sit on our food, and when we eat it the germs go inside our body resulting in dangerous diseases like Cholera , Typhoid fever, Malaria, Diarrhoea etc. Some diseases are also caused due to air and water, because of the pollutants thrown by the factories in the air and water without treating it in waste treatment plants. Factories are also a major contributing source to water and air pollution. Illegal dumping of hazardous chemicals, gases, contaminated water in waterways damages the marine life and our environment also, and sometimes this negligence results in harmful diseases like Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Asthma, and lung cancer etc. from air pollution Dysentery, Polio, Trachoma etc. ( Trachoma can lead to visual impairment or blindness) are some diseases that occur because of dirty water.
