The average standard of people's health is likely to be lower in the future than it is now. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

In the upcoming time, more individuals would suffer due to health-related issues than ever before. I completely agree with

this

statement and in

this

essay, I will elucidate some of the reasons to support my argument. One point to consider is that since the global population is increasing;

therefore

, traffic on

roads

Suggestion

the roads

has

also

increased drastically. It is well known that cars, which are commonly used as a mode of transportation across the globe, is one of the primary reasons for air pollution because they emit carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

Although

they are equipped with filters to purify the exhaust, still the concentration of

this

hazardous gas is too high and can seriously harm the human respiratory system. Not only it is harmful to humans, but it

also

depletes our ozone layer, eventually, ultraviolet rays can enter our atmosphere, which can potentially harm our skin as it might cause skin related diseases

such

as skin cancer. Another point to consider is that, if the farmers have to meet the intense demand of food supply, it is necessary to speed up the process of crop cultivation. Unfortunately, in order to achieve their goal, they are using chemical fertilizers, which could probably turn fatal if consumed by individuals for a long period of time.

For instance

, a recent study carried out by an eminent doctor Andrew James at Columbia University revealed that people who eat vegetables, which were cultivated by using chemical fertilizers, faced health-related issues once they were over the age of fifty years. The study

also

found that life expectancy was

also

reduced by ten years.

Besides

this

, both state and central governments have decreased the funding of medical research, and

this

indeed has been one of the main reasons why we might suffer to fight serious diseases in the near future. All the above-discussed assertions, let to the conclusion that pollution and crop harvesting are some of the primary reasons why people's health would decline in the near future.
