四分地球水三分，滋潤(rùn)萬物助繁生，

成冰化汽因溫變，出溪入海為勢(shì)增。

農(nóng)耕時(shí)代多清凈，工業(yè)濁流使臟渾，

任憑污染勤滲透，欲飲一杯或不能。

Without water in this beautiful land， man cannot survive purely with sand.

Rice seeks a healthy means to grow； farmers need humidity before they can sow！

Some fill swimming pools for fun； others walk miles for it under the burning sun.

Man's ambitious greed goes to waste； using false chemicals with no taste！

Fish and plants die due to pollution； ignorant humans are blind to find a solution.

Control of our lovely planet is being lost， all in the name of the financial cost！

The 'Multi-National's' lead the field， with unlimited sources others must yield.

Nature has its own unlimited power； it will judge their abuses at the right hour！

世界上80%的疾病與水有關(guān)。傷寒、霍亂、胃腸炎、痢疾、傳染性肝病是人類五大疾病，均由水的不潔引起。被寄生蟲、病毒或其他致病菌污染的水，會(huì)引起多種傳染病和寄生蟲病。重金屬污染的水，對(duì)人的健康均有危害。被鎘污染的水，人飲用后，會(huì)造成腎、骨骼病變；攝入硫酸鎘20毫克，就會(huì)造成死亡。鉛造成的中毒，會(huì)引起貧血和神經(jīng)錯(cuò)亂。六價(jià)鉻有很大毒性，會(huì)引起皮膚潰瘍，還有致癌作用。飲用含砷的水，會(huì)發(fā)生急性或慢性中毒。砷使許多生物酶受到抑制或失去活性，造成機(jī)體代謝障礙，皮膚角質(zhì)化，引發(fā)皮膚癌。有機(jī)磷農(nóng)藥會(huì)造成神經(jīng)中毒；有機(jī)氯農(nóng)藥會(huì)在脂肪中蓄積，對(duì)人和動(dòng)物的內(nèi)分泌、免疫功能、生殖機(jī)能均造成危害。稠環(huán)芳烴多數(shù)具有致癌作用。氰化物也是劇毒物質(zhì)，進(jìn)入血液后，與細(xì)胞的色素氧化酶結(jié)合，使呼吸中斷，造成呼吸衰竭窒息死亡。
