Pollution Prevails
Sewage dumping and the effect that has on the health of residents and visitors has been the subject of a series of articles in the Dubai media. Polluted beaches and neighborhoods have left people puzzled on what the solution may be. Some media are asking the same questions in hope of getting some response from those concerned. Sewage is an issue not only in industrial or poor areas, but also in tier one residential areas. But is it only sewage that is a cause of concern? You only need to go out of your house in any inhabited area in Dubai just to experience first hand the impact of air pollution. Hanging dust particles, carbon dioxide from car and truck exhausts, fumes from cement and other factories as well as the continuous drilling and excavation have left residents gasping for fresh air. Add to that noise pollution that is the result of cars, trucks and planes passing over residential areas and you have a recipe for an unhealthy environment. There is a price for progress, this is a high one. I find myself asking the same question: what is being done about this?

Dubai is known to be one of the most polluted cities in the world. Quality of life is suffering. One worse place I can think of is Bejing where the sun only shows 3- 6 days a year !
