The Industrial Revolution had mostly negative effects but there were some positive outcomes. There was good and bad situations happening to the workers such as getting paid and having a good environment. Also some workers got hurt by the machines and would get sick since the machine caused pollution. One of the positive effects during the Industrial Revolution was that the workers in the factories had a good environment that was clean and safe . Every other worker was doing their job. In…
Landfill can be a major problem as when it rains the rubbish decomposes and makes a leachate in the bottom of the landfill which causes ground pollution which is really bad for humans. This can be seen in Tokyo Japan as they have an island that is called Yumenoshima and it is made out rubbish and…
Roof Discolored? Know Three Potential Reasons Why Nobody wants a roof that is a community eyesore with discoloration. Unfortunately, there may be factors at play that are causing this blemish.

Pigment From Asphalt Shingles There is a process called extractive bleeding where black pigments found in your roof’s shingles can cause a stain to appear. It typically…
Being a highly toxic compound, dioxin is a persistent environmental pollutant. It refers to a group of toxic chemical compounds that are very harmful to the consumption of human and animal lives. Dioxin resembles white crystalline structures, which looks similarly to the long ice cubes that freeze to the bottom of a car after a snow storm. Producing many negative effects, dioxin is not made on purpose. The negative effects can be as severe as producing heart disease, reproductive and…
warming, ozone layer depletion, acid rain, loss of biodiversity by deforestation and desertification and water pollution. As these problems increase, so does the cost that the country is paying to fix them. It is an ongoing cycle, as no permanent solution besides change, has been thought of. One of the most significant effects of…
Background: Acidic rain or acid deposition is predominantly caused by air pollution. Acid deposition in the form of gasses and microscopic particles, floating in the air, is called dry deposition. However, wet deposition is in the form of precipitation. As a result of chemicals being released from human productions, great amounts of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide are respired into the atmosphere, where rain and gas matter is polluted. Once both sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide come in…
During Bai Xioachun’s first month at the cave residence on Purple Cauldron Mountain, the atmosphere was quiet and no trouble was stirred with the Purple Cauldron disciples. Fatty Zhang felt relieved and gradually visited the cave less, as Bai Xiaochun was always refining. A month later, however... Bai Xiaochun’s eyes gleamed brightly. He carefully inspected the pellet in front of him then guffawed excitedly. He had turned the furnace four times in the past month, all whilst attempting to find…
Amazon Basin, illegal wildlife trade, illegal poaching, land degradation and air and water pollution. Water pollution in Brazil is caused by mining activities, wetland degradation, and severe oil spills. Acid rain is also a problem. It’s caused by the rise of sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxide. Acid rain is dangerous to plants, animals and humans. When the environment isn’t dying, it does a lot for the people. For example, trees provide wood and leaves to make shelter. Wood also can be used to…
INTRODUCTION Worldwide, air pollution is a growing threat to human health and the natural environment. One of the major effects of air pollution is acid rain and it is caused by sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) gases. The combustion of high sulphur content fossil fuels can release harmful toxic gases into the air and therefore pose serious environmental problems. Coal, oil and natural gas are major energy resources available in environment where as fuel combustion processes and…
