One of the most common, and most noticeable, types of environmental
stress is air pollution. As factories churn out smoke and
carcinogens, we are forced to breathe air that is filled
with poisons. Whether we notice them or not, we cannot avoid
them. Our lungs are constantly subjected to small particles
that stick in the lung tissue and gasses that can find their
way into our bloodstream. Obviously, this is not a good
situation, because we cannot exactly afford to stop breathing.
As well, we are subjected to a whole variety of chemicals
when we drink water. With all the chemicals that are used
in farming, or sprayed on our lawns, or poured into our
water supplies, the water we drink is filled with all sorts
of poisons that are doing our bodies no good. Once again,
we cannot afford to stop drinking water, but we do need
to be aware that the water we are drinking contains a lot
of things that we would not want in our bodies.
However, there is not much we can do to avoid this situation.
Obviously, filtered water is superior to simple tap water,
but even water filters cannot remove everything from our
water. In fact, we do not want filters to remove all of
the substances, as water contains many electrolytes that
are essential to ensuring the proper functioning of our
bodies. Even bottled water is not safe, as the water has
to come from somewhere and that somewhere is usually either
a stream or from the ground. Unfortunately, streams are
filled with particulate matter and chemicals can soak into
the ground. However, some water is simply taken from municipal
water supplies and those are not safe either. Thus, this
is a problem that needs to be faced in day-to-day life.
Unfortunately, these poisons do not only put stresses on
our bodies, they put stresses on our minds as well. These
physical forms of environmental stress put poisons into
our brains as well, and can cause them to functions less
effectively. Just as alcohol or drugs can affect the ways
that our minds work, these subtle poisons are also seeping
into our brains and causing mental changes. In fact, receiving
too many of these poisons can slow down mental processes
without our noticing the change. It will simply happen so
slowly that we cannot notice the difference.
In addition, one of the most common causes of environmental
stress is noise pollution. Anybody who lives in a large
city is bombarded with a deluge of noise that can damage
the ears, numb the senses, and cause a boatload of stress
for our minds. With cars, busses, trains, factories, and
people all screaming to be heard above the din filling the
streets of the modern city. These pressures on our brains
and our eardrums are enough to shut the mind down and send
it into a cocoon of insensibility.
As well, simply being in a public place can cause us to
have to deal with noise pollution. This is, of course, caused
by the infamous "cell yell". Anywhere we go in
public, we must deal with people yelling into their mobile
phones. This is not only annoying, but it is a form of environmental
pollution. Listening to someone yell at a phone causes our
minds stress and, through that, causes our bodies stress.
They are annoying, and annoyance is a form of stress. Thus,
we find ourselves stressed by something that is simply a
fact of modern life.
Environmental stress occurs to us every day and we should
be aware that it is happening. Obviously, we cannot be aware
of it all the time because to do so would probably cause
us more stress just by simple worry. However, it is a fact
of life while living in the modern world and we should have
the presence of mind to know that environmental stress takes
a toll on a body… and a mind.
