Both plastic and atomic bomb can destroy our civilization. There are several scientific discoveries which are harming environment constantly. Let's discuss about the most harmful scientific discovery.
Among the most devastating scientific discoveries for the environment, there are:
-The exploitation of shale gas:
The first risk due to the exploitation of shale gas is the emission of greenhouse gases, which cause global warming. The second risk is that of pollution of groundwater and air. Water contaminated with shale gas is no longer potable, and it in turn contaminates soils and vegetation.
-Non-organic farming:
the use of pesticides and herbicides in agriculture.
-Medicines industry:
Several drug industries also fail to respect the environment by dumping toxic waste into the environment.
