Air pollution is steadily increasing with the use of fossil fuels to power our vehicles and with the increase of urbanization of rural areas. Diesel exhaust particles, or titanium dioxide are a huge source of pollution due to the increase number of semis hauling freight across the country, and the increase of industrial buildings. Efforts certainly have been active in trying to solve this problem, however, it is steadily on the rise worldwide. Unfortunately, do to this increase; offspring of animals are becoming exposed to both immediate contact and from their mothers during gestation, passing along the increased potential for respiratory diseases. With these animals being exposed to these toxins with no cure or immunity, they will not be able

With the increase in energy consumption, pollutant emissions from stationary fossil fuel burning sources, such as industries, and also from the most popular, mobile sources, such as the motor vehicles the majority of the population use daily. There is increased contact between the respiratory system and the environment, and the air that is breathed in, has a direct affect on the health of the individual or animal (Marcos Arbex et. al., …show more content…
Like I previously mentioned, the increase in industrial buildings and the use of motor vehicles are only going to increase, so in order for us to protect these animals so that we can use them for the consumption of food, clothing, etc… we need to develop cures and better prevention methods. In addition, to animals that are living closer to these populated cities or industrial landmarks, their longer length of exposure to these air pollutants are not going to help them increase in daily gain or have proper feed efficiency. Then the farmer is not only sending lighter cattle across the scales due to them being sick and off of feed, he will have to purchase medicine in order to help treat these cattle with respiratory diseases. There is still a lot of research that needs to be done in order to properly determine how to protect the epithelial lining in the throat and how to keep the immune system functioning at 100% so these animals do not get sick. Additionally, (Sharkhuu 2011) found that the production rate of species affected by air pollutants dropped by 25%. That means one out of every four beef cows would not travel across the scale to be harvested. That is terrifying especially with how the World is only getting
