Air pollution

wet and dry depositon that contain high amounts of nitric and sulfuric acids (see Figure 1). These gases come from electric generation, factories, forest fires, burning fossil fuels and acid rain forms when these gases react with water, oxygen and air. Wet deposition happens when acid chemicals fall to the ground in a rain or snow for although dry deposition happens when acid chemicals fall to th ground in a dust or smoke form. The strength of an acid rain is determined by measuring its pH,…

In his article titled “Air pollution-related illness: effects of particles”, Andre Nel reports some of the major causes of air pollution. Nel himself writes, “Unfortunately, the unregulated ultrafine particles are potentially the most dangerous. Ultrafines are the major component in vehicle emissions-the largest source of air pollution in urban areas--and they have the largest surface area and highest content…

States would ever be without pollution of any sort? If fracking is a major form of attaining natural gas in the United States, there is a chance there won’t be. Fracking, or hydraulic fracking, is the drilling down into the earth to remove shale and other natural gases. Fracking can be controversial because it could be good economical but can be very bad environmental wise. This process uses many chemicals and is very bad for the environment, especially dealing with pollution. Although fracking…

Mixed contamination of PAHs and metals occur ubiquitously in the environment, but their combined toxicity to humans and other organisms are not fully addressed. The data from epidemiological, animal and in vitro studies indicated the nature of interaction between PAHs and metals varies from synergism to additivity or antagonism. In this chapter, the combined toxicity of PAHs and metals on toxicokinetic and toxicodynamic endpoints, and possible mechanism of actions were discussed. In addition,…

forces that destroy all in their way. While these two authors have very different overall perspectives, the basic rhetorical strategies they employ are similar. Thomas introduction is written from a personal perspective, describing how “[she] awoke to air so dry that the graze of [her] nightgown against the down comforter created tiny orange sparks,” and how “[she has] a roaring sinus headache.” She describes how “[she finds herself] beneath a smoky sky the color of fire.” This first paragraph…

The world itself is ever changing. Two authors by the names of Pamela Paul and Michael Pollan would agree upon this statement and would add that not only is it changing but it’s direction is one that would cause much harm.
