Power of Pollution
Everybody knows that there are many different types of pollution, but what people don’t know is how it’s affecting their environment, and themselves. Researchers tend to focus on the types of pollution: air, environmental, sound, light and many more, but not on who and how it affects them. Not only does pollution affect animals and the environment, but it affects humans too. While limitations are put on how much pollution companies are allowed to emit out into the atmosphere, many Americans, mainly minorities, are still being hospitalized and diagnosed with deformities caused by pollution. Pollution needs more regulation before the damage in the United States can not be reversed.

There have been few accidents, but this pollution can cause birth defects, cancer, sterilization and other health problems for humans and wildlife (Mayntz). Thermal pollution is identified as excess heat which can be caused by power plants, deforestation, etc, which affects the wildlife surrounding the area. Light pollution, caused by things such ass large cities and billboards/advertizing, is mainly known to interfere with the life cycle of turtles, but it also limits the observations made by astronomers …show more content…
Many claim that the observed increase in the average global temperature is due to the increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations, but studies show that it is not the case (Carbon Emissions Have…). Instead of an increase carbon dioxide enforcing a greater climate change, it’s been concluded that a greater climate change enforces an increase on carbon dioxide (Carbon Emissions Have…). Although pollution may not be the cause of climate change, it should continue to draw concern since it is the cause of so many other
