Air pollution, water pollution and even food contamination. I prefer to live in a remote area. No electricity, water from the spring or deep well. Organic food. The City is modernized but it is the dirties place in the world.

I believe that a person's lifestyle is the cause of their sickness, even if you live in a rural or remote area but you eat lot's of junkfoods you will certainly get sick. I live in the city and i'm often exposed to air pollution even inside our house but I don't get sick, not even the slightest symptom of colds because I know how to eat healthy and I drink vitamins everyday. Also people who live in the city tend to eat more fastfoods than real food making them a great target for sickness.

Thank you for your comment. I too take vitamins. I live in a subdivision. My neighbor is in a business that used cooking oil, the smoke is very bad for my lungs. Otherwise this place is peaceful, its not a busy street.

yes i agree with you pollution and city life are synonyms, vehicular traffic, industrial revolution have contributed a lot in adding pollutants in the milieu, every minute we are exposed to one or the other pollutants, they have become a part of life wheres as remote areas are calm and really soothing, life just seems to stand still there.

Fot this its always advisable to run away to a hideaway and live for sometime till you get over this feeling. Actually we can do nothing about it cause we all need air ,water and food to live and survive.

I moved myself from Rome To Milan and I note that in Milan there's more pollution than Rome and my skin is very dirty and my body is less immunized.I've flue more times than when I lived Rome and here every food has a different taste.the fruit doesn't have a fruit taste and the water too is different.

The biggest pollution problems where I live are caused by road users, and factories. Water pollution is also a problem; even the quality of bottled water you buy is not pure enough for me to drink.

i think it is and also so many other factors are responsible. but pollution is the main problem. we all are aware of it and do very little to help it. we just wait ofr the govt to do something. so even people are responsible for it...
