Subject: An appeal to raise concern about the
improper disposal of protective masks
Sir/Madam
With great respect and faith in the columns of
your newspaper, I, ABC, a resident of Airport
Road am writing to you. | want to inform you
that face masks, which are widely used for
safety against Covid-19, are being discarded in
inappropriate locations by a segment of the
population.
Face masks are being worn by a growing
number of individuals to be safe from the
disease, but disposing them away anywhere isnot acceptable as it can cause many health
related as well as environmental issues. People
dump these masks carelessly in places like
roadsides, pavements, gardens, etc. The elastic
bands on these can pose death threat for the
animals who mindlessly chew them. Also, these
are a hub of germs and microbes and can
spread infections. Proper disposal of face masks
is crucial for prevention of spread of diseases.
| would like to request the residents, through
the columns of your prestigious publication to
stop careless discarding of their used masks.
The government agencies should sensitize
people regarding this issue.
Thanking you in anticipation
Yours sincerely
ABC
